Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of racing pigeons, and in particular to a racing pigeon rapid homing guiding device. Background Art

[0002] Racing pigeon training and homing guidance are important links in racing pigeons. Traditional racing pigeon training methods mainly rely on artificial feeding and release, and the homing of racing pigeons mainly depends on their own memory and instinct. However, as racing pigeon competitions become increasingly fierce, how to improve the homing rate and competition results of racing pigeons has become the focus of pigeon lovers.

[0003] The homing ability of racing pigeons is one of their biological characteristics. Through years of research, scientists have found that racing pigeons can rely on a variety of senses and environmental cues to navigate. The navigation ability of racing pigeons mainly depends on the following aspects:

[0004] Visual navigation: Racing pigeons have a highly developed visual system that is able to identify landmarks and the position of the sun. Studies have shown that racing pigeons can determine the direction of flight by observing the ground landscape and the position of the sun.

[0005] Magnetic field perception: Racing pigeons have magnetic materials in their beaks and eyes that can sense changes in the Earth's magnetic field. Scientists have found that the molecules in the racing pigeons' retinas can maintain a quantum entangled state, thus sensing changes in the direction of the Earth's magnetic field.

[0006] Smell navigation: Racing pigeons can identify odor molecules in the air through their sense of smell to determine the direction of flight. Studies have shown that racing pigeons can remember the smell of their hometown during flight and navigate using scent clues.

[0007] Acoustic navigation: Racing pigeons can hear sounds and use these acoustic clues to navigate. Scientists have found that racing pigeons can use hearing to identify changes in sound in the environment and determine the direction of flight.

[0008] Although racing pigeons have a variety of navigation methods, there are still the following problems:

[0009] Low homing rate: Traditional racing pigeon training methods rely on the natural instincts of racing pigeons, and the homing rate is low, especially in long-distance competitions, racing pigeons are prone to get lost and fail to return home.

[0010] Complicated operation: Traditional training and releasing methods require a lot of manual intervention, which is cumbersome, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and prone to human errors, affecting the training effect of racing pigeons.

[0011] Strong stress response: Racing pigeons are easily disturbed by the external environment during training and competition, which can cause stress responses and affect their flying ability and homing rate.

[0032] Furthermore, the marker includes a base 11, an electric telescopic rod 12 is installed on the top of the base 11, a rotating platform 13 is installed on the top of the rotating platform 13, an identification piece 14 is installed on the top of the rotating platform 13, a surface of the identification piece 14 is provided with a conspicuous logo 15 and an LED light 16, and a sound signaler 17 is installed on the top of the identification piece 14.

[0033] Furthermore, the base 11 includes an internal battery and an external controller, the controller includes a microprocessor, a timer and a wireless communication module, and the electric telescopic rod 12, the rotating table 13, the LED light 16 and the sound signaler 17 are all controlled by the controller.

[0034] Furthermore, the identification member 14 is a polygonal structure with a hollow interior, the eye-catching identification 15 is made of bright anti-corrosion paint, the LED light 16 can be set to different colors or flashing modes, the controller controls the switch and mode of the light by timing or manually, and the sound signaler 17 is provided with a speaker and a sound playing device inside, the speaker is used to play the sound signal, the sound playing device stores and plays the preset sound, the sound signaler sets the play time through the controller or manually triggers the play, and the speaker plays the familiar sound of the racing pigeon, training the racing pigeon to form a conditioned reflex, and further guiding the racing pigeon to return home. The LED light 16 on the marker is controlled by the controller and can be set to different colors or flashing modes to attract the attention of the racing pigeon.

[0035] Furthermore, the one-way double-opening door 9 is an automatically closing structure, ensuring that the racing pigeons cannot escape from the rear opening after entering the pigeon room 4, and the tray 2 is a detachable structure, which is convenient for cleaning the waste at the bottom of the pigeon room 4.

[0036] Furthermore, it also includes an odor diffusion system that can be placed in the tray 2, and the odor diffusion system includes an odor storage device 18 and an odor diffuser 19. The odor storage device 18 is a solid odor source storage device that stores the odor source familiar to racing pigeons, which is a mesh cage here, and can store, for example, pigeon feathers and odor extracts from a pigeon house. The odor diffuser 19 is a fan-type diffuser.

[0037] Specifically, odor source collection:

[0038] During the molting period of pigeons, collect the fallen feathers, because these feathers carry the smell of pigeons and can be used as solid odor sources. Old nesting materials in pigeon nest boxes, such as hay, sawdust, etc., have been in contact with pigeons for a long time and absorb the smell of pigeons. Dried pigeon feces can also be used as odor sources after proper treatment. Feathers, old nesting materials, and dried feces are stored in sealed containers after treatment.

[0039] Preparation for release:

[0040] Pre-store food, open the transparent cover 6 on the temporary storage bin 1, take out the feeder 5, put in an appropriate amount of food, preferably corn, and not too much food, so that the pigeons remain hungry and have the physical strength to fly. Then put the collected solid odor source into the odor storage device 18, which is a mesh cage structure with an opening. After the odor source is loaded, it is placed in the tray 2, and the odor diffuser 19 is started. The breeze blows to the odor storage device 18 to diffuse the odor and then move it into the cabinet. The blowing time is about 5 minutes.

[0041] Pigeon memory exercise:

[0042] Take out the racing pigeons that need to be released for training and tie leg rings with positioning functions on their legs. Push open the one-way double-opening door at the rear side to temporarily store the racing pigeons in the pigeon room 4. The pigeon room 4 is used to store each racing pigeon separately to prevent fighting and interference between racing pigeons. The bottom plate of the pigeon room 4 is a mesh structure, which is convenient for the discharge of waste and the subsequent cleaning of waste to keep the pigeon room clean.

[0043] Afterwards, the marker in the storage bin 3 is taken out and placed in the front side of the mobile cabinet so that the racing pigeons can see it. Afterwards, the base 11 is placed on a stable ground, the rotating platform 13 is started to rotate the identification member 14, and the LED lamp 16 and the sound signal device 17 are turned on. The eye-catching logo 15 on the identification member 14 allows the pigeons to observe, and the LED lamp 16 with a certain regular flashing and the sound signal device 17 with a specific frequency can further enhance the impression of the pigeons. After the pigeons observe for 8-10 minutes, the grille plate 7 can be opened to release the racing pigeons. In the process of exercising the racing pigeons' memory, the state of the racing pigeons needs to be observed through the transparent cover plate 6, and if the racing pigeons are not in good condition, the pigeon house is retrieved.

[0044] In addition, the feeder 5 can be replaced with a controllable automatic feeder, and a small amount of food will fall from the feeder 5 each time the sound signaler 17 emits a round of sound. Let the racing pigeons know that there will be food when a specific sound sounds, which can enhance the racing pigeons' sense of belonging to the nest. Because the sound signaler 17 is a multi-round sound, the food fed by the feeder 5 needs to be small enough, preferably broken food particles, with a low gram weight, so that the racing pigeons can eat and will not be fed. The specific feeding weight of the food needs to be adjusted according to the situation of the racing pigeons, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0045] Racing pigeon flying back guide:

[0046] The position information of the racing pigeon is obtained according to the leg ring on the racing pigeon's leg. When it is close to returning to the nest, the electric telescopic rod 12 is started to push the identification member 14 to partially rise, and then the rotating platform 13, LED light 16 and sound signal 17 are started. The eye-catching logo 15 and LED light 16 on the identification member 14 are used for visual guidance, and the sound signal 17 is used for sound guidance. The rotating identification member 14 allows the racing pigeon returning to the nest in a curve to see the identification object in different directions. At the same time, the odor storage device 18 equipped with a solid odor source can be taken out and placed in a high place to help the racing pigeon identify the location of the nest by smell.

[0047] The present invention enhances the memory and recognition ability of racing pigeons to their nests by using a combination of solid odor sources and visual and sound signals, thereby improving the homing rate of racing pigeons. The invention adopts odor diffusers, rotating tables, LED lights, and sound signalers, etc., to simplify the operational procedures of racing pigeon training and flying, reduce manual intervention, and improve work efficiency. The invention also avoids fighting and interference between racing pigeons by storing the racing pigeons separately, reduces stress reactions, and maintains the racing pigeons in a good state.

[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein by equivalents. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
