Subject: Lattice might be pretty, but it's a bugger, to clean ... and you ...

(Lattice might be pretty, but it's a bugger, to clean ... and you ...) will be amazed at the amount of dust that will collect on the wall-side! I'd stick with a plain plywood wall (if you leave dry-wall, and the flyers have any way to be at rest, against it, you'll find they will decide to gnaw a hole, somewhere ... mine do), frame out with 2 x 4's the width you can allow, then do 1/2" hardward cloth wrap, on the inside (so the flyers cannot gnaw on the framework). You could do a 4' x 8', or even 6' or 8' x 8', perhaps 30" or 36" 'deep', and make quite a nice flyer habitat up against a wall. You'd have plenty of room to do several shelves, at different levels, on the back wall, as well as the sides, and could hang nest boxes from the front wall, from the outside of the cage, so you'd be able to check in on the occupants without having to go into the cage. Princess Poo will get along with a new-comer if you take plenty of time with the introduction, and with a wall-cage, you'd have room to divide the space, giving P'Poo a chance to make friends without pressure. Good luck on the project!
