Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of animal feeders, in particular to a novel animal feeder. Background Art
[0002] Animal lovers often provide food to attract animals to their outdoor surroundings, allowing them to observe them more closely. By placing different types of food and water in feeders, different animals can be attracted to eat and drink. Animal feeders play a key role in animal conservation, helping to ensure adequate food and water for animals as they migrate to different geographical areas and ensuring they remain well-nourished during the harsh winter months. They also allow animal lovers to learn about the seasonal diversity of species in the area. Different species of animals can be observed throughout the year, including songbirds, hummingbirds, woodpeckers, finches, titmice, redbirds, bluebirds, and other species.
[0003] CN101861838B discloses a hummingbird feeder with a disposable liquid reservoir and a reusable base. The feeder includes a disposable box and a reusable base. Since there is no auxiliary device for the bird to eat or drink water, the bird needs to flap its wings constantly to maintain a relatively stable position relationship between the bird and the container when eating or drinking water, so that it can eat or drink water accurately and smoothly.
[0004] Existing animal feeders such as CN209498245U and CN215123270U are hung in courtyards, under eaves, in parks, etc. to provide food for wild birds. These existing animal feeders have a single function of only feeding animals and cannot meet other needs of people. Utility Model Content
