dovecotes
Homes for pigeons
Dovecotes are structures built to house domesticated pigeons or doves, typically featuring many small nesting compartments.
Historically common on estates where the birds were kept for food, eggs, and fertilizer.
The phrase flutter the dovecotes means to cause alarm or agitation in a peaceful setting: Her resignation fluttered the dovecotes at headquarters.
