[0002] Pigeon farming is a meaningful agricultural activity. Pigeon lofts should be built in high, dry, well-ventilated, and well-drained locations to avoid dampness and waterlogging. They should also be far from noisy traffic arteries and pollution sources to minimize the impact of noise and harmful gases on the pigeons. Pigeon cages should be divided into rest areas, activity areas, and brooding areas. The rest area should have sufficient perches to provide places for the pigeons to roost. The activity area should be spacious enough to allow the pigeons to move freely. The brooding area needs to be warm and quiet, with suitable nesting bowls placed there. The pigeon loft should have good lighting and ventilation; windows or vents can be installed to ensure air circulation, but drafts should be avoided.

[0003] Pigeons have a certain degree of nest-guarding instinct; if the handling is improper when collecting eggs, the pigeons may mistakenly believe that they or the eggs are threatened, and thus attack the breeders; this may not only cause injury to the breeders, but may also cause stress to the pigeons themselves, affecting their subsequent egg production and reproductive performance.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. This utility model uses an inclined base plate to allow pigeon eggs to roll and pass through the egg outlet before being collected inside the egg collection frame, thus automatically collecting the pigeon eggs inside the cage. Breeders can use the collection frame to retrieve the eggs, effectively preventing them from being pecked by pigeons during the egg collection process. Pigeon attacks can cause hand injuries and health problems such as infections for operators. With this device, operators do not need to directly contact the pigeons and nests, greatly reducing the risk of injury.

[0014] 2. This utility model avoids causing fear and stress to pigeons by eliminating the need for direct human intervention in the pigeon's nesting area when collecting eggs.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides an automatic egg-collecting cage for pigeon breeding with a buffer function, including a cage body 2, a top plate 1 fixedly installed on the top of the cage body 2, and a bottom plate 6 fixedly installed on the bottom of the cage body 2. At the same time, an automatic egg-collecting component 7 is provided at the end of the bottom plate 6. The automatic egg-collecting component 7 includes an egg-collecting frame 75 set at the bottom of the cage body 2, and a buffer sheet 76 fixedly installed on the surface of the egg-collecting frame 75. An opening 77 is opened on the surface of the egg-collecting frame 75, and a base 73 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the egg-collecting frame 75. A connecting rod 72 is fixedly installed at the end of the base 73. A positioning seat 71 is fixedly provided on the bottom right side of the bottom of the bottom plate 6, and a buffer pad 5 is covered on the surface of the bottom plate 6. Multiple sets of horizontal ribs 3 are evenly fixedly arranged on the cage body 2.

[0022] Working principle: During use, pigeons live and lay eggs inside cage 2. Because the bottom plate 6 has a rubber cushioning pad 5, the eggs fall onto the cushioning pad 5. Due to the inclined design of the bottom plate 6, the eggs roll and pass through the egg outlet 4, finally collecting inside the egg collection frame 75. This completes the automatic collection of pigeon eggs inside cage 2. Breeders can then retrieve the eggs using the egg collection frame 75. The surface of the egg collection frame 75 is equipped with a rubber cushioning sheet 76, and the surface of the bottom plate 6 is equipped with a rubber cushioning pad 5. Both the cushioning pad 5 and the cushioning sheet 76 are soft, reducing the probability of breakage and leakage. Meanwhile, the egg collection frame... Side guards 74 are provided on both sides of the egg collection frame 75 to prevent the pigeon eggs from falling. The nuts screwed to the ends of the connecting rods 72 can also be removed. Holding the egg collection frame 75, the two sets of connecting rods 72 at the bottom can be pulled out from the inside of the positioning seat 71 to facilitate the collection of a large number of pigeon eggs inside the egg collection frame 75. The surface of the buffer plate 76 is evenly provided with multiple sets of elliptical openings 77. The size of the openings 77 is smaller than the average diameter of the pigeon eggs. The pigeon eggs can be confined inside the openings 77. When the egg collection frame 75 is moved by hand, the pigeon eggs inside the egg collection frame 75 are not easy to shake, reducing the probability of collision and damage between pigeon eggs.

[0023] The automatic egg-collecting component 7 is designed to effectively prevent farmers from being pecked by pigeons during the egg-collecting process. Pigeon attacks may cause hand injuries to operators, leading to health problems such as infection. With this device, operators do not need to directly contact pigeons and nests, greatly reducing the risk of injury.

[0024] Retrieving eggs does not require direct human intervention in the pigeons' nesting area, thus avoiding causing fear and stress in the pigeons. Reducing stress helps maintain their normal physiological and reproductive functions, ensuring their health and having a positive effect on improving egg production rate and egg quality.

[0025] As a preferred embodiment, an egg outlet 4 is provided at the bottom front of the cage body 2, and the egg outlet 4 is rectangular. At the same time, an egg collection frame 75 is provided in front of the egg outlet 4.

[0026] The base plate 6 is inclined, and the end of the base plate 6 is inclined downward. At the same time, the egg collection frame 75 at the end of the base plate 6 is inclined downward.
