An improved bird cage, fabricated of transparent plastic material which provides separate connecting compartments for sleeping and bathing purposes of the caged bird. The sides and top of the bathing compartment and the sleeping compartment are formed of solid transparent plastic sheets, with each compartment being removable from the cage assembly, and with the openings in the main cage compartment to the bathing and sleeping compartments being closeable by a sliding door or grill. The base section of the cage is removable for cleaning purposes, and is located below a grill of plastic bars which may be fastened to, or removed from the cage independently of the removable base section.
A portable avian carrier apparatus (10) comprising an apertured generally rectangular housing member (13) having an angled rear panel (17) and provided with an interior (30) and exterior (40) perch element; wherein the exterior perch element also serves as a handle (40) for the apparatus (10); and a clear apertured closure member (60) operatively associated with the housing member (13) to define the interior chamber (100 ) of the apparatus (10).
A bird perch apparatus includes a floor base assembly, and a pole assembly is connected to the floor base assembly. A ceiling-contacting assembly is connected to the pole assembly. A lower pan assembly is supported by the pole assembly. An upper pan assembly is supported by the pole assembly a predetermined distance above the lower pan assembly, and a perch assembly is connected to the pole assembly at a position along the pole assembly between the lower pan assembly and the upper pan assembly. The lower pan assembly is circular and includes a central aperture for receiving the pole assembly. The upper pan assembly is circular and includes a central aperture for receiving the pole assembly. A cage assembly is supported by the lower pan assembly and is capped by the upper pan assembly. The pole assembly includes a first adjustable portion and a second adjustable portion which are adjustable longitudinally with respect to each other. The pole assembly includes a plurality of modules that have a head end and a tail end and arranged in head-to-tail fashion. A cage assembly can include a vertical stack of a plurality of cage segments separated by either segment connector assemblies or combined segment connector/tray assemblies.
An improved animal enclosure including a pair of adjacent transparent panels supported in a frame and which are separately and independently removable for cleaning without requiring removal of the other panel or of the animal. An air filter assembly draws fresh air into the enclosure and filters the air prior to exhausting the air. An improved perch holder compensates for irregularities in tree branches used for animal perches. The bottom tray of the enclosure is removable and replaced with an identical tray which has been treated with grass seed and sunlight.
This invention is a protected enclosure to allow upland game birds including bobwhite quail to be introduced into and to thrive in the wild with low mortality rate. This is accomplished through the use of an acclimation portion where the birds become used to feeding and watering in the protected enclosure while being allowed to ingress and egress between the acclimation portion and the feeding and watering portion. Provision is made for one or more call birds to be isolated after the acclimation period upon initial introduction into the wild. The call bird or birds can then be reunited with the covey. Commercially available cooked ration can be used which allows vitamins, minerals and other supplements to be added to the normal diet of the birds.
