What does AVIARY mean in Scrabble?
noun
A large enclosure or building in which birds are kept, so that they can fly about.
An aviary may be a backyard cage for finches or a huge walk-through structure in a zoo with trees, pools and dozens of species. The word comes from the Latin for bird. Compared with a simple cage, an aviary gives its residents room to fly, which is why breeders and conservation parks favour it.
