Etymology: "Voleries" is simply the plural of "volery," an aviary or bird-house. The noun "volery" comes from Latin "volaria," the plural of "volarium," a place for birds, built from "volare," meaning "to fly." Its root is the same as that of "volant" and "volatile," so the word is tied directly to flight, which is exactly what the space is designed to allow.
