We are thinking we will build something like this

I don't plan to breed and have two birds and occasionally baby sit two others. It would be nice if I could keep them all together (not too worried about disease as they are all from the same original flock)

I am very much still learning so don't want to kick myself about the design later!

Mostly wondering if I should enclose the back half and if I should put shelves for them or perches. (American fantails). And if so what's a good size.
 
That's nice! I liked the airlock idea as well though. My sister once had to chase the female I babysit all over town for about an hour till she caught her again lol. She is a sneaky little thing lol
 
Pigeons seem to prefer boxed open front only, then separate open netting/wire flight area, but the tail's will look better in circular cage that has perches not ledges so they won't turn around on ledges n mess up tails on sides. Make any peg perches no longer than birds are wide. Long perches measure so they don't scrape tails on sides of cage.
