kelly tom Posted October 21, 2009 Report Posted October 21, 2009 Hi Ulsterman In Scotland a pigeon loft is called a doocote slang for dovecote so we refer to pigeons as doos .
Ulsterman Posted October 21, 2009 Author Report Posted October 21, 2009 thank you for that. mind you my dad was from just outside edinburgh but i never heard him call it that,and he and his brother both kept pigeons. but there you go, thank you.

Guest youngzimmy Posted October 21, 2009 Report Posted October 21, 2009 IT CALLED A DOOKIT WHERE YOU KEEP YER DOOS
Guest Freebird Posted October 21, 2009 Report Posted October 21, 2009 Doo is more used with horseman pigeons and it is in fact a cock bird. A hen is just called a hen, He He He! Dookit or doocotes were used way back for a source of food in most big country estates and this is how or why pigeons were first domesticated. Here are some photo's of a dookit. http://www.hiddenglasgow.com/doocots/index.htm

showman Posted October 21, 2009 Report Posted October 21, 2009 Forgive my lack of scottish slang......but would a horseman not be a ' big doo ' as I seem to have heard that before when talking about fancy pigeons ??
