What does VOLERY mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaic
A large cage or enclosure for keeping many birds, or a flock of birds flying together.
A volery is a roomy structure where birds can fly about rather than hop from perch to perch, and in this sense it is close to an aviary. Older writers also used the word for a flock or flight of birds, which fits its origin in the French word for flight. It turns up now mostly in dictionaries of unusual words and in old descriptions of gardens and menageries.
