Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of assisting cranes in pairing up in cages, and more specifically, to a cage for pairing up crested ibises during their breeding season. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the cages used for pairing crested ibises during the breeding season are generally the same cages used for daily rearing. These cages are independent spaces, which cannot adequately guarantee sufficient interaction and mating opportunities for the ibises during the breeding season. Furthermore, the selection of mates is mostly done by the staff. Specialized pairing cages for the crested ibis breeding season would be beneficial in enhancing communication among them, and the ibises would be able to freely choose their mates.

[0003] However, the above-mentioned scheme still has some shortcomings. By artificially pairing up crested ibises, communication between crested ibis populations is reduced, which is not conducive to the crested ibis freely choosing mates. In the long run, it is also not conducive to improving the biodiversity of the crested ibis population.

[0004] In view of this, the present invention proposes a cage for pairing of crested ibises during their breeding season. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, this utility model provides a cage for pairing crested ibises during the breeding season, so as to solve the problem that artificially pairing crested ibises reduces communication among crested ibis populations, is not conducive to the crested ibis's free choice of mates, and is not conducive to the improvement of biodiversity of crested ibis populations in the long run.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cage for pairing of crested ibises during the breeding season, including a breeding area, on the surface of which breeding components are provided for breeding crested ibises, a gate is fixedly installed at the front end of the breeding area, and a corridor is provided at the top of the breeding area.

[0007] The breeding components include a breeding cage, perches, and cage doors. The breeding cage is located in the breeding area.

[0008] The surface of the site, the perch is fixedly installed inside the perch, and the cage door is fixedly installed on the side of the breeding cage;

[0009] The breeding cage is equipped with a water pool inside, and the two-way passage is located at the side of the breeding cage.

[0010] Preferably, the width of the corridor is set to 1.8-2m and the height is set to 5-6m.

[0011] Preferably, the area of ​​the breeding cage is ≥20 m², the length is ≥5 m, the width is ≥4 m, and the height is ≥4 m.

[0012] Preferably, the height of the perch is set to 1.5-4m.

[0013] Preferably, the breeding site and breeding cages are both designed with a mesh structure.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] This invention incorporates breeding components, housing crested ibises in breeding enclosures. A water pool provides replenishment, and perches allow for rest. The crested ibis breeding season involves pairing, nest building, and reproduction, with pairing being a crucial early stage. The establishment of breeding enclosures allows crested ibises to freely choose their mates, reducing human interference and enhancing communication between populations. This achieves the goal of enabling crested ibises to freely choose their mates, thus promoting inter-population communication. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Example 1

[0023] Please refer to Figures 1, 2, and 3, and... Figure 4 The cages used for pairing of crested ibises during the breeding season include a breeding area 1, the surface of which is provided with breeding components 2 for breeding crested ibises.

[0024] Specifically, a gate 11 is fixedly installed at the front end of the breeding site 1, a corridor 12 is provided at the top of the breeding site 1, and the breeding component 2 includes a breeding cage 21, a perch 22, and a cage door 23. The breeding cage 21 is set on the surface of the breeding site 1, the perch 22 is fixedly installed inside the perch 22, and the cage door 23 is fixedly installed on the side of the breeding cage 21.

[0025] Furthermore, the width of the corridor 12 is set to 1.8-2m, and the height is set to 5-6m.

[0026] Furthermore, the area of ​​the breeding cage 21 is ≥20 ㎡, the length is ≥5m, the width is ≥4m, and the height is ≥4m. The height of the perch 22 is 1.5-4m. The breeding cage 21 has a water pool 211 inside. The breeding cage 21 has a two-way passage 212 on the side. The breeding site 1 and the breeding cage 21 are both netted.

[0027] In this embodiment, the breeding enclosure 21 has an area of ​​≥20 m², a length of ≥5 m, a width of ≥4 m, and a height of ≥4 m. The two-way passage 212 is 1.5-2 m high and 2-2.5 m wide from the ground. The water pool 211 is pot-shaped, with a depth of ≤18 cm, a diameter of ≥1.2 m, and an edge height of ≤10 cm from the ground. Crested ibises are raised inside the breeding enclosure 21. The water pool 211 can be used to replenish water resources. The perch 22 is used for crested ibises to rest. The crested ibis breeding period requires pairing, nest building, and reproduction. Pairing is the key period in the early stage of the breeding process. The establishment of the breeding enclosure 21 is conducive to the crested ibis freely choosing their mates, reducing human interference, and strengthening communication between the populations. A drainage ditch is connected next to the water pool 211 and is close to the enclosure door 23.

[0028] The working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0029] The crested ibises are kept in the breeding enclosure 21. The water pool 211 can provide water resources, and the perch 22 is used for the crested ibises to rest. The breeding season of the crested ibis involves pairing, nest building and breeding. Pairing is the key period in the early stage of the breeding season. The establishment of the breeding enclosure 21 is conducive to the crested ibis freely choosing their mates, reducing human interference and strengthening communication between the populations.
