BIRD FEEDER WITH DETACHABLE DECORATIVE AND CAMOUFLAGE FEATURES
A bird feeder with detachable decorative and camouflage features is disclosed. The bird feeder includes a base supporting a housing configured to contain bird feed. In one embodiment, the base includes feeding posts having an annular groove for receiving a synthetic flower and elastic ring to provide a detachable decorative feature. In other embodiments, the bird feeder includes a foliage support having a plurality of foliage receptacles. The foliage receptacles have a serrated inner surface for receiving and retaining the stem of detachable foliage.

VIBRATING BIRD DETERRENT DEVICE
A bird deterrent device is configured for use in common garden bird-feeders. A flexible vibrating tip is electrically connected to a power supply and a wireless receiver via electrical wiring. A remote transmitter is operable to send a signal to the wireless receiver. When the wireless receiver receives the signal, the vibrating tip produces a vibration to generate visual, auditory and structural vibrations in the associated feeder, thereby scaring away targeted undesirable birds.
Method and system for feeding an animal a consumable feed product and vegetation from a container
Consumable feed products and vegetation are delivered to animals using a single container in which the container holds the feed product and is used to deliver the feed and which includes ungerminated seeds embedded in the container body. The seeds are caused to germinate and produce vegetation from the container body, and the germinated seeds and/or vegetation is fed to the animal. Multiple containers may be used simultaneously so that while the consumable feed product from one container is used to feed an animal, another container may be used to grow vegetation or deliver vegetation to the animal. Confined birds such as poultry and chicks may benefit from ingesting feed and vegetation produced from such containers.

CONTROLLABLE FEED SPRAYING DEVICE
The feed spraying device contains a casing member, a top cover, a side cover, a number of partitions, a loading wheel, at least a brush, a spraying wheel, a first driving unit, a second driving unit, a controller, and a power supply unit. A feed inlet is configured in the top cover. The partitions separate an inner space of the casing member into three sections. After the feed spraying device is turned on and before it stops, the controller engages the second driving unit to drive the spraying wheel to rotate for a period of time time so as to clear residual feeds in a feed storage room. In addition, the spraying wheel has blades of bended tips so as to increase the distance that the feeds are sprayed. The device therefore resolves the residual feed problem of the prior art and enhances the coverage of feed spray.
DEVICE AND METHOD FOR KEEPING ANTS OUT OF LIQUID FOOD
A device keeps ants out of a feeder for flying creatures, such as hummingbirds. The feeder is adapted to be held above the ground by a supporting member. The device may include an annular vessel, fillable by a fluid, such as water. The annular vessel can surround the supporting member, below the feeder, for instance on the ground. The feeder may thus be disposed to be visible from a window or above a wall, while the annular vessel is below a sill of the window or the top of the wall. The annular vessel is designed to be passed over the supporting member, when the feeder is not attached.
Migration barriers, systems and methods
A migration barrier includes a first barrier wall and a second barrier wall wherein at least one of the first and second barrier walls together provide a stable base structure that maintains the barrier assembly in an upright, standing position.

A FEEDER ASSEMBLY
A feeder for feeding poultry and the like, the feeder comprising: a base including a pan configured to receive and retain feed; a storage hopper positioned above the base during use for receiving and storing feed, said hopper being operable to dispense feed into the pan under the effect of gravity; the base further including a housing for at least enclosing the pan, the housing including an opening positioned in between the pan and the hopper during use for allowing poultry and the like to access an internal space enclosed by the housing for consuming the feed retained in the pan.
