Plural of aery; the high nests of eagles or other large birds, or any high, isolated structure.
From Old French aire meaning 'nesting place,' possibly from Latin area. The spelling evolved through aery/eyry variants, with aeries being the standard plural today.
Eagles' aeries aren't just homes—they're architectural marvels that can weigh up to a ton and last for decades as families add to them yearly. Some aeries have been used continuously for over 50 years!
