A squirrel bungee apparatus is shown. A first plate member is suspended from an overhead structure. A second plate member is pivotally secured to the first plate member whereby the first and second plate members may be moved between first and second positions. A torsion spring interconnects the first and second plate members and yieldably maintains the first and second plate members in their first position. An elongated flexible chain has its upper end secured to the second plate member and has a food item or the like at the lower end thereof. When a squirrel jumps onto the food item, the weight of the squirrel causes the first and second plate members to move from their first position to their second position thereby causing the food item and the squirrel to move downwardly and thence upwardly in a bungee fashion due to the action of the torsion spring.

A feeder stand including a rotary ground auger and base holds a feeder above the ground. An upright elongated rod defines a stand supported by an auger having helical coils removably screwed into the ground. A platform such as a round disc, or wire mesh platform is supported on the top distal end of the rod. At least two opposing legs extend perpendicular to the vertical elongated rod and auger forming a base. The distal end of selected opposing legs are bent or angled upward perpendicular from the ground forming handles for rotating the auger into the ground. The portion of the legs extending outward normal to the elongated support pole provides a base bearing against the ground for increased lateral support.

Apparatus for feeding and photographing birds and other wildlife includes a housing defining one or more feeding stations. A module containing a sensor to detect the presence of birds and a camera is configured so that the sensor and the camera have overlapping fields of view. Mounting structures on the housing locate the module with respect to the one or more feeding stations to position the sensor and camera so that the area surrounding one or more of the feeding stations is within the fields of view of the sensor and the camera.

A feeding apparatus for poultry, is disclosed, and comprises a feed source, a feed line formed at the feed source, a feed valve mechanism arranged in the feed line and which in a closed valve position blocks feed from passing through the feed line and in an open valve position allows feed to pass through the feed line. The feeding apparatus has a pecking block which is moveably mounted and mechanically coupled to the feed valve mechanism in such a way that the feed valve mechanism is closed when the pecking block is in a neutral position and the feed valve mechanism is open when the pecking block is in a deflected position due to pecking at the pecking block.

A suet feeder which comprises a housing having a spring and a suet holder connected to the housing, the suet holder being sized to retain a prepackaged package of suet, a shroud extending about the suet holder and at least a portion of the housing, a spring biasing the shroud upwardly with respect to the housing and suet holder, the shroud having at least one suet access opening to permit access to the suet holder with the shroud being moveable between an open position permitting access to the suet holder and a closed position wherein access to the suet holder is denied, and a cover secured to the shroud. The suet feeder is designed to deter access to the suet by marauders such as squirrels.

A bird feeder includes a fine-mesh inner container positioned in a course-mesh outer container. One or more features within the inner container urge the inner container outwardly against the outer container.

A hanging feeder for allowing accessing of suet therein by birds and not by squirrels. The feeder includes an outer cage and an inner cage. The inner cage is contained in the outer cage, and contains and maintains the suet at such a distance from the outer cage to allow access thereto by the birds and not by the squirrels by virtue of the inner cage having all of its sides spaced a sufficient distance from adjacent sides of the outer cage. The outer cage has a lid, a latch pin with a through bore, and a safety pin. The latch pin extends upwardly from a side of the outer cage, which is opposite to that on which the lid is hinged, and through the lid when the lid is closed to have the through bore in the latch pin receive the safety pin to selectively maintain the lid closed.
摘要:
A wire cage birdfeeder including a first cage member and a second cage member; the first and second cage members being pivotally connected such that when the feeder is in a closed position the first and second cage members are substantially flush with one another so forming a closed cage; and when in an open position the cage members are partly separated so presenting a filling mouth and further including a closer/hanger that when in a first position allows the first and second cage members to pivot open to present a mouth for charging and when in a closed position prevent such opening.

A selective bird suet dispenser designed to feed bird suet to certain songbirds and woodpeckers while excluding starlings and other undesirable birds, this accomplished after a short transitional training period, suet dispenser is comprised of a cylindrical feed column, protective hood, with an elongate wooden perch attached vertically to the bottom, a top cap attached to a wire handle and fitted over top of feed column wherein a separate wire training basket is used, with a looped wire handle attached to top and a wooden perch attached to the bottom, basket is hung upon feeder post for a limited number of days then replaced with the selective bird suet dispenser having feed apertures at the bottom of column and protective hood at its uppermost position on feed column, hood is then lowered each day until feeding area is shielded from view, allowing preferred birds to feed unmolested by untrained and unwanted starlings and other pest birds.

An enclosure with four sides, a top, leaving the bottom side open to allow for insertion and removal of a block of solid bird food. When the block of solid bird food is placed into the enclosure and is retained by a wire cover, the bottom side opening can be large enough to allow the block of solid bird food to freely move within the enclosure. The present invention also relates to an enclosure with four sides, a top, leaving the bottom side open to allow for insertion and removal of a wire basket. When the block of solid bird food is contained in the wire basket that is then inserted into the enclosure, the bottom side opening can be less than the nominal size of the wire basket. This will retain the wire basket in the enclosure.
