Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding device technology, and in particular to a bird feeder with a canopy. Background Technology

[0002] The primary purpose of bird feeders is to provide food for birds and attract them to their habitats. Bird feeders not only provide food and habitat for wild birds but also contribute to ecological balance. For example, they can help birds expend less energy during winter, thus increasing their strength and resilience to colder weather. They can also reduce the number of wild bird deaths in cities.

[0003] Common types of bird feeders include tube feeders, platform feeders, and line feeders.

[0004] Tube feeders are among the most common and popular bird feeders. They are typically made of transparent plastic or glass, making them durable and helping to keep food dry. The tube feeder's design allows birds to easily enter and feed through small holes. This type of feeder is suitable for birds of all sizes, from small sparrows to large eagles. Tube feeders also prevent food from being stolen by other animals such as squirrels or larger birds.

[0005] A platform feeder is a flat-designed feeder suitable for most birds. It is typically made of wood or plastic and has a flat platform for birds to stand and feed. This type of feeder is easy to clean and prevents leftover food from accumulating. Platform feeders are usually slightly raised above the ground, reducing the chance of other animals such as mice or wild animals accessing the food.

[0006] A queuing feeder is a specially designed feeder suitable for gregarious birds. It is typically made of wood or metal, with openings at different heights for each bird's beak. This type of feeder can accommodate multiple birds feeding simultaneously, reducing fighting or crowding. Queueing feeders can also gather birds together, creating beautiful scenes and enhancing the enjoyment of birdwatching.

[0007] Platform feeders are the most common type of bird feeder, with a simple structure and easy installation. However, most platform feeders do not have a roof, and the bird food is prone to spoilage during the rainy season. Existing platform feeders with roofs are usually integrated and fixed, requiring a large amount of temporary space and making transportation inconvenient when a large number of bird feeders need to be set up. Utility Model Content

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a bird feeder that is easy to disassemble and install and has a canopy.

[0009] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0011] Specifically, the bendable baffle is a flexible baffle.

[0012] More specifically, the flexible baffle is made of PVC board.

[0013] Another specific type of flexible baffle is a hinged folding baffle.

[0014] The base plate has several drainage holes.

[0015] More specifically, the base plate is tilted relative to the outer frame.

[0016] Another specific feature is that the locking mechanism uses a snap-fit ​​mechanism.

[0017] Another specific feature is that the locking mechanism uses a pin; the connecting part has a corresponding pin hole for installing the pin.

[0018] The beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are as follows: A bird feeder with a canopy includes a flexible baffle and a feed platform; the feed platform includes a base plate and an outer frame; the base plate is fixedly connected to the outer frame; the two ends of the outer frame are respectively provided with a plurality of connecting parts; the two ends of the flexible baffle are respectively provided with mounting holes corresponding to the connecting parts; the connecting parts pass through the corresponding mounting holes and are connected to the flexible baffle through locking parts; the flexible baffle is easy to assemble and disassemble, which not only facilitates on-site assembly, but also provides a flat structure after disassembly, which facilitates transportation and effectively saves transportation space.
