Help my doves and I - dovecote and cage to create

Design by Tage Anderson, Denmark. Photo by Bent Rej

I just got two doves, beautiful just like angels are beautiful.
These aren't my doves.
I can't show your my doves photo, because they are in a cage so tiny its kind of obscene.
They have been there two days already.

Does anyone in inner city Melbourne have a large bird cage they can lend me short-term?
Or is there anyone who would like to join me in making a proper structure this week?

I have just bought a metal arch structure, which I plan to cover in dovewire. Of course, I will settle for chickenwire.
But there is a terrible and clever cat after my lovely doves. I must not fail in making the door secure, but I don't even know how to make the door a door.
As always, I'm up for bartering my Permaculture skills for practical construction help ( balcony design, container gardening, decluttering, blog creation, Japanese translation, sign writing...)

Not that I'm clueless about cage making.
Once, in Tokyo, I came up with 19 bunny hutch designs. My Japanese rabbit came up with 20 methods of escape.
Here is young Cecilia, trying to figure it all out

The aim is that after spending a few weeks in the big cage, they are happy and know that my garden is their home.
Then they can fly free, and return to their raised, cozy dovecote when they wish. Thats the next construction job.

The dead cherry tree in my courtyard gets plenty of costume changes. Post for a raised dovecote could be its next incarnation. Its lustourous bark is very beautiful, suited to refined gentleness of these birds.

If you have any good dove ideas, my birds and I would be glad to hear your comments.
