[0048] In the optional scheme of this embodiment, it is more preferred to further include an operation corridor 1 arranged on the side of the first unit 2 away from the second unit 3, and a movable door 16 is arranged on the side wall of the first unit 2, and the movable door 16 can connect the operation corridor 1 with the first accommodating cavity when opened; the operation corridor 1 is convenient for artificial breeding, feed preparation, storage of tools, work clothes, rain boots, and disinfection supplies, and is convenient for staff to enter the cage for breeding, management, cleaning and other operations.

[0049] The specific method of using the bird cage 100 integrated with feeding, breeding and viewing in this embodiment is as follows:

[0050] ① Daily feeding: After entering the operation corridor 1, the staff enters the first accommodating chamber through the movable door 16 on the side wall of the first unit 2 to feed; the preparation of feed can be carried out in the operation corridor 1. The space in the cage, such as the artificial simulated tree 11, the surrounding area of ​​the pool 8, etc., is used to provide food and water for the crested ibis. The crested ibis can eat in the relatively quiet and hidden environment of the first unit 2, or can move around and forage in the second unit 3 while observing the outside world through the protective net.

[0051] ② Environmental maintenance: With the help of the drainage ditch 10, the accumulated water in the cage is drained in time to keep the cement floor of the first unit 2 and the evergreen lawn of the second unit 3 dry and clean. The pool 8 is regularly cleaned, the water in the pool 8 is replaced, and the rockery 9 in the pool 8 is kept clean to provide a good living environment for crested ibises.

[0052] ③ Temperature regulation: According to the seasonal changes, the first spraying device 18 on the top of the first accommodation chamber and the second spraying device 19 on the top of the second accommodation chamber are used reasonably. In the high temperature in summer, the spraying devices are turned on for cooling and humidifying to relieve the discomfort of crested ibises; in the cold winter, the heating equipment 17 in the first accommodation chamber is turned on to create a warm environment for crested ibises.

[0053] ④ Preparation before breeding: Before the breeding season comes, check whether the bird's nest 7 on the artificial tree branch 6 in the first accommodation chamber is in good condition. If it is damaged, repair or replace it in time. Ensure that the windproof and rainproof functions of the first unit 2 are normal to create a quiet and secluded breeding environment for crested ibises.

[0054] Observation during the breeding process: When crested ibises perform breeding behaviors such as pairing, laying eggs, and raising chicks on the artificial tree branch 6 and the bird's nest 7 in the first unit 2, the staff should try to reduce the number of times of entering the first unit 2 and observe the breeding situation outside the cage through the protective net or other observation equipment to avoid causing too much interference to crested ibises.

[0055] Care for young birds: After the young birds are hatched, provide appropriate food and care in the first unit 2 as needed to ensure the healthy growth of the young birds. At the same time, pay attention to keeping the environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity in the first unit 2 stable.

[0056] ⑤ Setting of the viewing area: Viewers view outside the guardrail 4 around the second unit 3. A distance of 1 meter is kept between the guardrail 4 and the cage body, which can not only clearly observe the activities of crested ibises but also will not cause too much interference to crested ibises. And the viewing time is reasonably arranged to avoid arranging a large number of viewing activities during the sensitive periods such as breeding and resting of crested ibises to ensure the normal life of crested ibises.

[0057] ⑥ Regularly check whether there are damages or looseness in the outer net 14 (plastic-steel net) and the inner net 13 (nylon soft net) of the protective net of the second unit 3. If there are problems, repair or replace them in time to prevent crested ibises from escaping and external animals from entering; conduct regular inspections and maintenance on the structures of the cage body, artificial simulation fake trees 11, drainage ditches 10, spraying devices, heating equipment 17, etc. to ensure their safety and normal operation and avoid causing harm to crested ibises due to facility failures.

[0058] It should be noted that, as is easily conceivable, the integrated bird animal cage 100 for breeding, reproduction and viewing in this embodiment can not only be applied to the breeding of crested ibises, but also to the breeding of other bird animals. The use of the integrated bird animal cage 100 for breeding, reproduction and viewing in this embodiment to breed other bird animals is also within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0059] The comparison of the breeding experiment data between the integrated bird animal cage 100 for breeding, reproduction and viewing in this embodiment and the existing ordinary breeding cages is shown in Table 1 as follows:
