I was thinking of Coo - plain and simple. Because if you scramble P Coo (as in Purple Coo) you get Coop. What flies away from the coop must therefore be Coo. (Leaving P behind - well you did say that the dovecote was smelly) And Coo of course is what the bird will do when he or she grows up. You could also talk of a Victory Coup (at a pinch)! So there you are - my choice for a name is Coo, just by itself.Fenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02377814681496294457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119986262111403412.post-90415042972938484812009-04-19T06:55:00.000-07:002009-04-19T06:55:00.000-07:00They are so sweet.
