Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of artificial nest technology, specifically to an artificial nest that promotes cormorant breeding. Background Technology

[0002] Cormorants, as gregarious waterfowl, exhibit a significant positive correlation between their reproductive success rate and nest structure characteristics. The main causes of chick mortality include predation by other animals and falls from nests in trees or on cliffs. On June 30, 2023, cormorants were included in the newly revised "List of Terrestrial Wild Animals of Important Ecological, Scientific, and Social Value" published on the website of the National Forestry and Grassland Administration. Therefore, continued protection and research of cormorants to ensure the long-term healthy development of these species has significant ecological, scientific, and economic value.

[0003] Cormorants primarily inhabit rivers, lakes, ponds, reservoirs, estuaries, and marshes, and prefer to perch on rocks or branches to dry their wings. Currently, artificially bred cormorant nests are mainly located in the water or on the shore. However, the rise and fall of water levels due to rain significantly impacts these artificial nests. Therefore, this application proposes an artificial nest design to promote cormorant breeding. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of the aforementioned technologies by proposing an artificial nest that promotes cormorant breeding, thereby solving the problems described above.

[0005] This invention provides an artificial nest for promoting cormorant reproduction, comprising: A fixed column, with one end fixed underwater; Hollow tube, slidably fitted onto a fixed support column; The floating body base is fixed to the lower end of the hollow tube; The sunshade is fixed to the upper end of the hollow tube; The nest unit is mounted on the floating base via support columns and is located below the sunshade.

[0006] Preferably, the floating body base includes multiple floats and a sleeve, with the sleeve fitted onto a plate composed of the multiple floats. The floats on both sides of the plate have through holes, and the sleeve has a round hole at the through hole; a hollow tube passes through both the through hole and the round hole.

[0007] Preferably, it also includes a concrete block, to which the end of the fixing column is connected.

[0008] Preferably, it also includes a fastener, which is axially sleeved on the outside of the hollow tube and horizontally sleeved on the end of the sleeve. The fastener is connected to the hollow tube by a connecting bolt.

[0009] Preferably, a rectangular frame is provided on the hollow tube, and the rectangular frame is located on the float base. The float is a hollow structure, and the float is made of bamboo or a hollow floating tube.

[0010] Preferably, the nest unit is formed by alternating stacking of branches with a diameter of 5-10 mm and a length of 40-50 cm. The framework of the shading roof is distributed at a 30-45° angle.

[0011] Compared with existing technologies, it has the following beneficial effects: This invention, through natural environment simulation and ecological design, and by setting up a floating base that rises and falls with the water level, effectively reduces the risk of cormorant chicks falling into the water and improves their survival rate. Through ecological design, dynamic floating, and scene adaptation optimization, it significantly improves the success rate of cormorant nest building and the survival rate of chicks.
