Coui

Coui is a term that can refer to several different things, primarily a type of bird or a village.

In ornithology, Coui is a common name applied to certain species of the genus _Phapitreron_, a group of pigeons native to the Philippines. These birds are characterized by their small to medium size, often with iridescent plumage. Specific species include the Amethyst brown-dove (_Phapitreron amethystinus_), the Little brown-dove (_Phapitreron minutus_), and the Grey-faced brown-dove (_Phapitreron cinereiceps_). They are typically found in forests and woodlands, feeding on fruits and seeds.

As a place name, Coui is a village located in the commune of Saint-Martin-de-Ré on the Île de Ré in France. This coastal village is part of the Charente-Maritime department. It is situated on the western part of the island and is known for its traditional architecture and proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. Historically, like other settlements on Île de Ré, Coui would have been involved in maritime activities and agriculture.

The specific context in which "Coui" is used will determine which of these meanings is intended. Both the bird and the village are distinct entities with their own characteristics and geographical locations.
