AI Technical Summary
The existing abundant toys cannot effectively improve the life pleasure of Magellan penguins, and cannot be designed according to the behavioral characteristics of penguins, resulting in the inability to effectively reduce the occurrence of penguins' foot lesions.
A Magellan penguin enrichment toy is designed, including a base, removable spring, anti-corrosion wood ball, pluggable rod body and suspension components. Through the combination of these components, a variety of movement and interaction methods are provided to meet the natural behavior needs of the penguin.
By designing this encapsulating toy targeting the characteristics of Magellan penguins, it can effectively increase penguins' exercise behavior, reduce rest and stereotyped behavior, reduce the risk of foot lesions, improve animal welfare, and is simple in structure and easy to make.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of animal supplies, and particularly relates to an enrichment toy for Magellanic penguins. Background Art
[0002] Enrichment is an important method to provide a suitable living environment for captive animals and improve the behavior structure of captive animals. The inducing factor of the common disease - swollen foot disease in artificially raised Magellanic penguins is that the penguins stand still for a long time, resulting in poor blood circulation in the feet. By making enrichment toys for penguins, the movement behavior of penguins can be greatly increased, the lesions can be reduced, the living fun of penguins can be increased, and thus the welfare of captive animals can be improved. The existing enrichment toys are not targeted at Magellanic penguins themselves, cannot truly improve the living fun of penguins, and cannot better play the role of environmental enrichment. It is necessary to make suitable toys for them artificially according to the behavioral characteristics of Magellanic penguins to promote penguins to show more natural behaviors. Content of the Utility Model
[0003] In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, the utility model provides an enrichment toy for Magellanic penguins to avoid the problem of foot lesions of Magellanic penguins.
[0004] To solve the above problems, the technical solution of the utility model is as follows: an enrichment toy for Magellanic penguins, including a base, a spring is detachably arranged on the base, an enrichment ball is arranged at one end of the spring, a plurality of holes are arranged on the enrichment ball, and a plurality of rod bodies are connected to the holes in a pluggable manner, and a hanging member is arranged at the upper end of the enrichment ball.
[0005] Further, the hanging member is a hanging ring.
[0006] Further, the enrichment ball is an anti-corrosion wooden ball.
[0007] Further, the diameter of the enrichment ball is 30 - 40 cm.
[0008] Further, the rod bodies are anti-corrosion wooden strips.
[0009] Further, the diameter of the rod bodies is 5 mm and the length is 20 cm.
[0010] Further, the spring is made of stainless steel.
[0011] Further, the height of the spring is 30 - 40 cm.
[0012] Further, the area of the base is larger than the diameter of the enrichment ball.
[0013] Further, the weight of the base is 7 - 9 kg.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects: It is designed and operated according to the appearance and behavioral habits of Magellanic penguins, which can truly arouse the interest of captive Magellanic penguins, increase their movement and beak movement behaviors, reduce their rest behaviors, enrich the daily behaviors of captive penguins, reduce the occurrence of stereotyped behaviors, effectively improve animal welfare, and prevent foot lesions caused by the long-term standing of Magellanic penguins; it has a simple structure and is convenient to manufacture. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0015] Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of the utility model.
[0016] BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS: 1 Base, 2 Spring, 3 Enrichment ball, 4 Rod body, 5 Hanging component. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0017] As Figure 1 shown, an enrichment toy for Magellanic penguins includes a base 1, on which a spring 2 is detachably provided. The spring 2 can be made of stainless steel to prevent rusting. The height of the spring 2 is 30 - 40 cm. An enrichment ball 3 is provided at one end of the spring 2. The enrichment ball 3 is an anti-corrosion wooden ball with a diameter of 30 - 40 cm. The area of the base 1 is larger than the diameter of the enrichment ball 3 and weighs 7 - 9 kg, and preferably weighs more than the total weight of the enrichment ball 3 and the spring 2 to prevent the penguins from carrying away the toy. A number of holes are provided on the enrichment ball 3, and a number of rod bodies 4 are detachably connected to the holes. The intervals between the holes are appropriate to ensure that the penguins can take out the rod bodies 4 with their beaks. The rod bodies 4 are anti-corrosion wooden strips with a diameter of 5 mm and a length of 20 cm. A hanging component 5 is provided at the upper end of the enrichment ball 3. The hanging component 5 is a hanging ring. The enrichment ball 3 and the rod bodies 4 are made of anti-corrosion wood to extend their service life.
[0018] The above specific embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the utility model and not to limit them. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the examples, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the utility model can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the scope of the technical solutions of the utility model, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims of the utility model.
