Dovecote
A dovecote or dovecot , doocot ( Scots) or columbarium is a structure intended to house pigeons or doves. Dovecotes may be free-standing structures in a variety of shapes, or built into the end of a house or barn. They generally contain pigeonholes for the birds to nest. Pigeons and doves were an important food source historically in the Middle East and Europe and were kept for their eggs and dung. History and geography The oldest dovecotes are thought to have been the fortress-like dovecotes of Upper Egypt, and the domed dovecotes of Iran. In these regions, the droppings were used by farmers for fertilizing. Pigeon droppings were also used for leather tanning and making gunpowder. In some cultures, particularly Medieval Europe, the possession of a dovecote was a symbol of status and power and was consequently regulated by law. Only nobles had this special privilege, known as ''droit de colombier''. Many ancient manors in France and the United Kingdom have a dovecote st ...

Colombier, Quebec
Colombier is a municipality in the Canadian province of Quebec, located in the Côte-Nord region and the regional county municipality of La Haute-Côte-Nord. It is located along Route 138, about south-west of Baie-Comeau. It includes the population centres of (Sainte-Thérèse-de-) Colombier, Les Îlets-Jérémie, and Saint-Marc-de-Latour. History While some logging took place in the middle of the 19th century, real impetus to its development was due to the economic crisis of the 1930s, when government authorities encouraged resettlement of the unemployed by opening the area for agriculture. In 1932, Saint-Marc-de-Latour was formed with the construction of a sawmill. In 1935, the Parish of Sainte-Thérèse-des-Colombiers was formed. Also that year, pioneers set up 20 camps and built the road along the Saint Lawrence River. In 1937, the post office opened, then designated as Rivière-Colombier, named after the Colombier River, a tributary of the St. Lawrence that flows throug ...
