Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a suspended artificial nest box bird catching device, belonging to the technical field of bird catching devices. Background Art

[0002] At present, research on the physiological ecology of secondary cavity-nesting birds requires the collection of individual bird information, including measurement of physical parameters and blood extraction. To complete these tasks, it is often necessary to capture individual birds. Using artificial nest boxes to attract birds for capture is the most commonly used method.

[0003] Numerous tools and methods have been developed to capture birds from nesting boxes, such as flip nets, flap nets, and bird cages. However, these devices have low success rates, can cause harm to birds, and are difficult to capture specific birds. Some remote-controlled bird-catching devices, while increasing the success rate, require manual control of the device, making it impossible to capture multiple nesting boxes simultaneously, significantly reducing efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a hanging artificial nest box bird catching device, which can be placed in different nest boxes according to needs to catch specific bird individuals. The bird catching device can be placed in multiple nest boxes at the same time to catch birds when they return to the nest, which greatly improves the efficiency of bird catching and reduces labor costs. At the same time, the bird trap is hidden inside the nest box, reducing the interference of the bird trap itself on bird catching.

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the specific technical solutions of the utility model are as follows: a hanging artificial nest box bird catching device, which is fixedly connected to the bird's nest box on the front surface of the fixed slats, and the front surface of the bird's nest box is provided with an entrance and the top is provided with a top cover; a supporting device is provided on the front surface of the inner cavity of the bird's nest box, and the supporting device is provided with a through hole corresponding to the entrance position, and a baffle is connected to the through hole for sliding up and down, and support edges exceeding the width of the baffle are provided at both ends of the baffle; the pedal is connected to the lower end of the supporting device through a rotating shaft; support bars are connected to both sides of the supporting device through rotating shafts, the upper end of the support bar contacts the bottom surface of the support edge, and the lower end is connected to the outer edge of the pedal through a thin wire.

[0006] The support device is composed of a front panel and a rear panel arranged in parallel. The front panel and the rear panel are jointly provided with a through hole corresponding to the entrance, and the baffle is located between the front panel and the rear panel; the lower end of the rear panel is connected to the lower end of the through hole of the front panel; the rotating shafts of the support bars at both ends are connected to the front panel.

[0007] The rear panel is provided with a limiting platform, and the supporting edge of the lowered baffle is seated on the limiting platform.

[0008] The support bar is an L-shaped structure, the width of the horizontal end of the support bar is greater than the thickness of the rear panel, and is connected with a thin line.

[0009] The top of the front panel is provided with a hanging edge, which is bent downward and hung on the front end of the upper opening of the bird's nest box.

[0010] The suspended artificial nest box bird catching device of the present application adopts the above-mentioned structure. The bird can step on the pedal to rotate and drive the support bar to rotate to control the falling of the baffle, thereby achieving the purpose of automatically blocking the entrance and exit of the nest box. Under the premise of maximizing the protection of birds from harm, the bird can be captured simply and quickly, providing convenient conditions for in-depth research on secondary cavity-nesting birds.

[0016] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a hanging artificial nest box bird catching device is fixedly connected to the front surface of the fixed slats 11. The front surface of the bird nest box 1 is provided with an entrance 2, and the top is connected to the top cover 12 through a hinge; a supporting device 3 is provided on the front surface of the inner cavity of the bird nest box 1, and a through hole is provided on the supporting device 3 corresponding to the position of the entrance 2. A baffle 4 is connected to the through hole by sliding up and down. Both ends of the baffle 4 are provided with support edges 5 that exceed the width of the baffle 4. Figure 5 As shown, the lower end of the support device 3 is connected to the pedal 6 via a rotating shaft; support bars 8 are connected to both sides of the support device 3 via rotating shafts. The upper end of the support bar 8 contacts the bottom surface of the support edge 5, and the lower end is connected to the outer edge of the pedal 6 via a thin wire 10. The pedal 6 acts as a trigger mechanism. When it is flipped downward, the thin wire 10 pulls the support bar to move, thereby triggering the baffle 4 to fall.

[0017] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the support device 3 is composed of a front panel 3-1 and a rear panel 3-2 arranged in parallel. The front panel 3-1 and the rear panel 3-2 are jointly arranged at a through hole corresponding to the entrance 2. The baffle 4 is located between the front panel 3-1 and the rear panel 3-2; the lower end of the rear panel 3-2 is connected to the lower end of the through hole of the front panel 3-1; the rotating shafts of the support bars 8 at both ends are connected to the front panel 3-1. The baffle 4 slides up and down in the gap reserved between the front panel 3-1 and the rear panel 3-2, and the baffle 4 can quickly close the entrance 2 under the action of gravity.

[0018] The rear panel 3 - 2 is provided with a limiting platform 7 , and the support edge 5 of the baffle 4 after falling is seated on the limiting platform 7 , thereby ensuring the falling distance of the baffle.

[0019] The support bar 8 is an L-shaped structure. The width of the horizontal end of the support bar 8 is greater than the thickness of the rear panel 3-2, and is connected to a thin line 10. When the support bar 8 is in a vertical state, the horizontal end and the pedal 6 are located in the same horizontal plane, and both sides simultaneously tighten the pedal 6 to ensure the stability of the pedal.

[0020] The top of the front panel 3-1 is provided with a hanging edge 9, which is bent downward and hung on the front end of the upper opening of the bird's nest box 1. The hanging method is adopted to facilitate the removal of the support device and reset it to the initial state, or to carry out maintenance and replacement of parts.

[0021] The working process of the suspended artificial nest box bird catching device is as follows: when in a stationary state, the upper end of the support bar 8 supports the support edge 5 of the baffle 4 so that the baffle 4 is stationary on the upper part of the support device 3. At this time, the entrance 2 is in an open state. When the adult bird enters the nest box and steps on the pedal 6, the pedal 6 rotates downward, driving the lower end of the support bar 8 to retract inward, so that the upper end of the support bar 8 expands outward and separates from the support edge 5 of the baffle 4. The baffle 4 falls under the action of gravity and covers the entrance 15, thereby blocking the bird in the bird nest box 1. In this way, the bird can be caught without causing any harm to the bird.
