Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bird research technology, and in particular to a bird food preference selection test kit. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most tests on bird food preferences involve placing two different foods in the same test box. When birds peck at the food, the two foods can easily mix together, making it impossible to determine the birds' preference for the smell of the food.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new bird food preference selection test kit to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem solved by this invention is to provide a bird food preference selection test kit that can test birds’ preferences for food, smell, shape and light, and can prevent different foods from being mixed together.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the bird food preference selection test kit provided by this utility model includes: two test box bodies, a connecting channel fixedly installed between the test box bodies, and a water trough and a feeding trough in each of the two test box bodies. The installation position of the water trough in one test box body is the same as the installation position of the water trough in the other test box body, and the installation position of the feeding trough in one test box body is the same as the installation position of the feeding trough in the other test box body.

[0006] Preferably, a light is fixedly installed on the top of each of the two test boxes.

[0007] Preferably, the bottom of the test box is open, and multiple linearly distributed support rods are fixedly installed at the bottom of the test box.

[0008] Preferably, an opaque partition is detachably installed on the outside of the connecting channel, and the opaque partition is located between the two test boxes.

[0009] Preferably, the test box has a door on one side.

[0010] Compared with related technologies, the bird food preference selection test kit provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] This invention provides a bird food preference selection test box. The two test boxes separate two different foods to prevent them from mixing, and also separate the smells of the two foods, thus allowing testing of birds' preferences for food smells. The use of an opaque partition allows testing of birds' preferences for food shape. The support rods facilitate birds' standing and movement within the test box. The inclusion of a light reduces the light requirements for the test. Attached Figure Description

[0012] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a preferred embodiment of the bird food preference selection test kit provided by this utility model;

[0013] Figure 2 for Figure 1 The diagram shows a side view of the opaque partition.

[0014] The following are labeled in the diagram: 1. Test box, 2. Connection channel, 3. Water trough, 4. Feeding trough, 5. Support rod, 6. Light, 7. Opaque partition. Detailed Implementation

[0015] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0016] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2 ,in, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a preferred embodiment of the bird food preference selection test kit provided by this utility model; Figure 2 for Figure 1 The diagram shows a side view of the opaque partition. The bird food preference selection test box includes two test box bodies 1, each made of transparent sheet material or mesh. A connecting channel 2 is fixedly installed between the test box bodies 1. Each of the two test box bodies 1 is equipped with a water trough 3 and a feeding trough 4. The installation position of the water trough 3 in one test box body 1 is the same as that in the other test box body 1, and the installation position of the feeding trough 4 in one test box body 1 is the same as that in the other test box body 1.

[0017] A lamp 6 is fixedly installed on the top of each of the two test boxes 1.

[0018] The bottom of the test box 1 is open, and multiple linearly distributed support rods 5 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the test box 1. The support rods 5 make it convenient for birds to stand inside the test box 1.

[0019] An opaque partition 7 is detachably installed on the outside of the connecting channel 2. The opaque partition 7 is located between the two test boxes 1. The opaque partition 7 can prevent birds from seeing the food in the other test box 1 from inside one test box 1, thereby enabling the testing of birds' preferences for the smell emitted by the food.

[0020] The test box 1 has a door on one side, which is used to facilitate the placement of birds from different test boxes 1, so as to better test the birds' food preferences.

[0021] Compared with related technologies, the bird food preference selection test kit provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] This utility model provides a bird food preference selection test box. The two test box bodies 1 can separate two different foods to prevent them from mixing together, and can also separate the smells of the two foods, thereby testing the bird's preference for food smells. The setting of the opaque partition 7 can test the bird's preference for food shape. The setting of the support rod 5 can facilitate the bird to stand and move inside the test box body 1. The setting of the lamp 6 can reduce the light requirements of the test.

[0023] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
