What´s the meaning???

Do you know the meaning of the following compound word in red?

"...a bird catcher came and stood under the tree, and laid his lime-twigs for the dove..."

It�s part of a Aesop�s fables called "the ant and the dove". I�ve looked it up in the dictionary and I�ve found the meaning of each word separately but not in a compund and they have no sense to me.

Thank you!!!
