Help building doors for a recall pen

[backcountryj.laf]

I've built a fairly elaborite recall pen for some birds that i don't have yet and the only thing that i have left to build are the recall doors.  I have no idea where to start.  Are some doors more predator proof than others.  How do i build them??  How large should they be??

Can you post any pictures of it?

I'll see what i can do tomorrow, the pen is raised about 8 inches off of the ground and i don't know if i should build small platforms for the birds to jump on or ramps, i also have no idea how to construct the cones or how large they should be.  Can i build doors that will function for both chukar and quail??
