Most of the time, the disclosed plant husbandry and food preparation apparatus encloses a garden plant, such that the plant is protected on all sides from animals. It may comprise a planter in which the plant is grown, a cage that is attached to the lip of the planter, and a dome containing apertures, which is seated atop the cage. The seated dome may be opened, while the dome is still attached to the cage, allowing the gardener to harvest produce. The opened dome is configured for use as a receptacle into which the harvested produce is deposited. The dome is also configured to be effortlessly detachable from the remainder of the apparatus, so that produce within it may be conveniently transported and rinsed. The dome may also be configured to serve as a strainer/steamer basket and as support for an auxiliary irrigation and/or animal deterrence system.

An animal deterrent assembly includes a housing that is positionable adjacent an area intended to be free of animals. A balloon is coupled to the housing and the balloon is inflatable present a visual deterrent for an animal. A blower is positioned within the housing to inflate the balloon. A plurality of speakers is each coupled to the housing to present an audible deterrent for the animal. A motion sensor is coupled to the housing and each of the blower and the speakers is turned on when the motion sensor senses motion of the animal. A transceiver is coupled to the housing to communicate an alert to thereby alerting a user that the animal has approached the area.

A predator simulation apparatus for repelling animals may include a housing. A speaker may be disposed on the housing. The speaker may also be configured to emit an animal repellant sound. A scent dispenser may be disposed on the housing. The scent dispenser may be configured to release an animal repellant odor. A motion sensor may be electrically coupled to the speaker. A control switch may also be electrically coupled to the speaker.

The present application discloses a bird-repelling method, a bird-repelling apparatus, and a bird-repelling system. The bird-repelling method includes steps of: controlling a light-emitting device to emit blue light; controlling a sound producing device to emit sound waves; and repelling birds by the bird-repelling apparatus integrating blue light irradiation and sound wave emission. The blue light bird-repelling mode and the sound wave bird repelling mode complement each other. Light waves and sound waves generate a resonance effect, which can repel birds more effectively without causing harm to humans or birds. The present application can be widely applied to various fields requiring bird repelling, such as aviation, high-speed railways, electric power, agriculture, and the like.

A landing pad receives and stores packages delivered from an aerial vehicle are awaiting pickup from an aerial vehicle. The landing pad can be placed outside of a window and can contain a transmitter for sending out an identification signal via radio frequency to aid aerial vehicles in finding the landing pad. The landing pad contains a landing platform with a trapdoor that leads to a storage compartment. The trapdoor can be configured to only open when it receives a signal from an authorized aerial vehicle. The storage compartment can be accessed via a storage compartment door which can contain a locking mechanism. The storage compartment can be climate controlled. The landing pad can also have a transmitter that emits sounds to discourage animals from nesting on or near the landing pad. The landing pad can also include a solar power generator as a source of electrical energy.

The present disclosure describes a system which is able to detect and recognize wildlife, and in particular birds, using camera images. The present solution is comprised of algorithms, software and integrated hardware devices. Properly equipped, the system can be made to be portable and can be set up at any location for different wildlife detection and repelling purposes.
