The present utility model discloses a bird feeding monitoring house. The bird feeding monitoring house comprises a main body and a feeding portion arranged under the main body, wherein a liquid storage area in communication with the feeding portion is formed in the main body, the main body is provided with a cavity having a shape adapted to a camera, the camera is detachably arranged in the cavity of the main body in a penetrating manner, and a photographing area of the camera comprises at least a part of the feeding portion. According to the present utility model, the camera is detachably arranged in the cavity of the main body in a penetrating manner. When the camera needs to be cleaned or the battery of the camera needs to be replaced, the camera only needs to be pulled out of the cavity without removing the main body from the hanging or installation position; and after camera cleaning or battery replacement is completed, the camera is inserted into the cavity again, so that the operation is simple, and the detachment is convenient.

This invention comprises a poultry feeder assembly (3) for providing access to feed to chicks of small breeds as well as growing and fully grown up birds from the same poultry feeder assembly, provided with a barrier to minimize entry of the chicks inside a feed containing pan (25) of the poultry feeder assembly. The poultry feeder assembly being attachable to a feeder pipe (4) that has spiral auger for automatic conveying of feed from a small hopper (2) to the poultry feeder assembly attached to the pipe, and the pipe is provided with a system for level adjustment or height adjustment from ground or floor of a poultry house; wherein, the pan for holding the feed is separable for cleaning purposes from the tube that conveys feed received from a feeding pipe to the pan.

A hanging system includes a bracket configured to adjustably mount at a pole and a rope extending through a pulley at the pole. The bracket includes a body defining a passageway and an arm extending from the body and including a hanging element. The passageway receives the pole. When the bracket is mounted at the pole, the rope is connected at a connecting element of the bracket, extends upward along the pole, through the pulley, and downward along a channel formed along the bracket. With no external force applied at the rope, an inner surface of the body engages the pole to, due to a frictional force between the bracket and pole, retain the bracket at a position along the pole. Responsive to an external force applied at the rope in the downward direction, the external force overcomes the frictional force and the bracket moves upward along the pole.

Implementations of a squirrel deterrent kit are provided. The squirrel deterrent kit may be used to prevent animals from climbing a pole to gain access to the bird feeder mounted thereon. In some implementations, the squirrel deterrent kit may comprise a sleeve member, a self-retracting reel, and a pole mounted fastener (e.g., a hook). In some implementations, the self-retracting reel may be positioned and/or secured within a cavity of the sleeve member. In some implementations, the pole mounted fastener may be configured to attach to an adapter (e.g., a ring) secured on the distal end of the line of the self-retracting reel. In this way, the self-retracting reel may be used to slidably connect the sleeve member to the pole. In some implementations, the sleeve member may comprise an elongated cylindrical stem having a dome shaped head. In some implementations, the sleeve member may include a longitudinally extending vertical slit therein.

An Oriole bird feeder having a nectar reservoir with a base and a tapered port, and preferably a tapered port/perch assembly, is provided. The bird feeder allows Orioles and other similarly sized members of the Icterid family of birds to land on the perch and access the nectar in the reservoir base while, due to the diminishing taper of the opening in the tapered port, simultaneously preventing average sized Italian, Carniolan and Caucasian honey bees from entering the reservoir base through the port to obtain the nectar where they subsequently become trapped and perish.

Implementations described and claimed herein provide apparatuses and methods for facilitating filling and cleaning of bird feeders that are aesthetically pleasing and adaptable for attracting different types of birds. In one implementation, a bird feeder includes a proximal edge extending around a central line and defining a plane. An outer surface and an inner surface each extends distally from the plane. The inner surface is connected to the outer surface by the proximal edge. An opening is formed by the proximal edge and positioned on the plane. A hanger is disposed distal to and not intersecting the plane, and the hanger assembly has a hanging portion positioned on the central line.

A hanging bird feeder comprises a hanging attachment that allows a user to hang the feeder, a feed reservoir, and a plurality of individual perches arranged around the periphery of the bird feeder and adjacent respective feed-dispensing openings. The feeder has a plurality of shrouds each connected to respective perches and the perches are biased to rest in a first position where their associated shrouds are not covering their respective openings. The perches are independently moveable under weight to a second position where their respective shrouds are covering their respective openings. The feeder has a plurality of pivoting members pivotally attached at first ends under the feed reservoir and having free ends that extend under respective perches. The perches are biased to rest in their first position by means of torsion springs acting on the pivoting members and located adjacent the first ends of respective pivoting members.

A birdfeeder apparatus for discouraging squirrels from accessing birdfeed in the birdfeeder apparatus may comprise a feed holder configured to contain a quantity of birdfeed and having a perimeter wall with an upper portion and a lower portion, with the upper portion and the lower portion of the feed holder each having a width. The apparatus may also comprise at least one feed opening being located on the lower portion and extending through the perimeter wall of the feed holder, and a perch configured to support a bird feeding at the at least one feed opening, with the perch being located adjacent to the at least one feed opening on the lower portion of the perimeter wall and extending outwardly from the perimeter wall. The width of the upper portion may be larger than the width of the lower portion.

Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for resisting intrusion by a pest. In one implementation, a reservoir extends between a proximal end and a distal end, and the reservoir defines an interior. A basin is mounted to the reservoir. The basin has a basin body and a basin surface. A sleeve assembly has a sleeve body and a port defined in the sleeve body. A tensioner translationally mounts the sleeve body relative to the basin body. The sleeve body translates distally from an accessible position to an occluded position when a weight applied to the sleeve assembly exceeds a weight threshold set by the tensioner. The accessible position includes bird food on the basin surface being accessible through the port. The occluded position includes the port being disposed distal to the basin surface such that the bird food on the basin surface is inaccessible through the port.
