dovecote
Nesting box structure
A dovecote is a structure built to house domesticated pigeons or doves, typically a small tower or wooden house with many nesting compartments.
Historically kept for meat, eggs, and fertilizer, dovecotes are now mainly decorative or for hobbyist pigeon-keeping.
To flutter the dovecotes is to cause a stir among calm or complacent people.
