Croodle

Far ben thy dark green plantin's shade The cushat croodles am'rously

Oh! that I had wings-not as a dove , to fly home to its nest and croodle there

Mrs. Dootson bridged the other half, and, croodling down to Meg's height, she somewhat forced the friendship

Too dark to see well, but judge from movements of old bird's head and croodling noise.

Do pigeons croodle, or only doves?

[A]nd no sound falls on my ears, except the distant roar of a passing train, the song of linnets, and croodle of turtle-dove and cushat.

[A] third-storey apartment under the eaves loud with the croodles and canoodling of amorous pigeons.
