A colloquial or informal British term for an aviary or a bird, especially in affectionate or playful contexts.
A diminutive or informal shortening of 'aviary' or 'avis' (Latin for bird), used in casual British English, following the pattern of creating cute nicknames by shortening longer words.
This is one of those wonderfully British informal words that probably sounds silly to outsiders but feels natural and warm to those who grow up using it—like 'doggy' or 'birdie.'
