A bird-friendly water fountain is an apparatus that intents to provide users a way of nurturing outdoor birds with a safe resting area and clean water. To accomplish this, the apparatus includes an arrangement of components that facilitates a ground-predator resistant mechanism that prevents ground creatures from reaching the top and potentially harming birds. Further, the apparatus including a fountain system and a resting perch area, that is eco-friendly and comfortable for migratory birds. Furthermore, the apparatus provides the user easy ways of draining water out of the fountain, and easy ways of filling water into the fountain. A plurality of levelling and tension adjusting components allow the user to maintain a leveled off fountain in areas when the ground is not flat or leveled. Additionally, a recording device mounted within the apparatus enables capturing of video/audio footages of birds coming onto the water fountain.

The present invention is directed to a method of treating poultry hatchlings in a hatchling tray. The method comprises of providing a soft gel form capable of being dispensed through a spray nozzle, providing a spray dispensing apparatus, the apparatus being capable of delivering a predetermined volume of the gel as a plurality of small beadlets through a plurality of nozzles, placing the hatchling tray containing the hatchlings beneath the nozzles of the dispensing apparatus, dispensing the predetermined volume of the soft gel containing the therapeutic agent as small beadlets into the hatchling tray and allowing the hatchlings to consume the beadlets. The present invention is also directed to a dispensing apparatus for dispensing a therapeutic agent in a soft gel into a hatchling tray of poultry hatchlings.

A bird feeder and bird bath system, the bird feeder and bird bath system designed to rest on a flat surface or be suspended from desired heights. The bird feeder portion includes at least one perch and a feeding cavity. The bird bath portion includes a bird bath with a fountain at the top of the system and or in the middle, the fountain powered by an interior pump. Multiple removable and interchangeable nozzle options, as well as numerous timing mechanisms afford the user with numerous control variables.

The disclosure relates to a spray applicator system for accurately and precisely dosing liquid formulations, including vaccines and probiotic formulations, to caged avian animals. In particular, the disclosure relates to spray applicators, having improved acceptance by the avian animals, relative to more disruptive prior spray applicators. The disclosed automated caged spray applicator system is designed to attach to and function with automated poultry feeding systems, routinely used in poultry house settings.

A bird mister apparatus for attracting and cooling birds includes a base plate, a housing, and a reservoir within a housing inside configured to hold liquid that can be sealed and unsealed. A spout has a spout aperture extending through to the housing inside. A pump is coupled within the housing inside and is in fluid communication with the spout aperture. An inlet tube is coupled to the pump and is in fluid communication with the pump. A CPU is coupled within the housing inside and is in operational communication with the pump. A battery is in operational communication with the CPU and the pump. A power switch is in operational communication with the CPU to activate and alternatively deactivate the pump. A hanger is coupled to the housing to support the apparatus on a tree branch, a fence, or an awning.

The application discloses a spray applicator system attachable to a poultry feeder for accurately and precisely dosing liquid formulations, including vaccines and probiotic formulations, to caged avian animals. The application discloses spray applicators, having improved acceptance by the avian animals, relative to more disruptive prior spray applicators. The disclosed automated caged spray applicator system is designed to attach to and function with automated poultry feeding systems, routinely used in poultry house settings.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a bird bath. In one configuration, a frame as a plurality lighting elements therein. A stand is provided for supporting the frame. The bath may include a control component for controlling the lighting elements and a photovoltaic cell for providing power to the lighting elements. In another aspect, the frame may include a plurality of spiral frame members. In yet another aspect, the spiral members have a channel pathway and the lighting elements are disposed in the channel pathway. In yet another aspect, the frame may includes a plurality of radial members. In yet another aspect, the radial members have a channel pathway and the lighting elements are disposed in the channel pathway.

A poultry house sprinkler system comprises a temperature sensor for obtaining a temperature value based on a temperature of a poultry house, a controller in communication with the temperature sensor, an input/output module in communication with the controller, a valve in communication with the input/output module and connected to the fluid source for receiving a fluid, and at least one sprinkler nozzle connected to the valve for receiving the fluid from the valve and distributing the fluid in the poultry house when the valve is in an open position. The controller is configured to receive the temperature value from the temperature sensor, compare the temperature value to a threshold value, and instruct the input/out module to set the valve in the open position when the temperature value is above the threshold value, maintain the valve in the open position for a cooling interval duration, and subsequently set the valve in a closed position at the end of the cooling interval duration.

The present invention is a novel light-emitting basin which includes a body. A surface of the body protrudes or is recessed to form a chamber. The body and/or a chamber wall of the chamber is in an atypical shape or a polyhedron shape. At least part of the chamber wall of the chamber forms a luminous body which is light reflective or light refractive. By using the novel light-emitting basin of the present invention, the surface of the body protrudes or is recessed to form a chamber. Fittings such as electric parts can be disposed in the chamber and thus could not be damaged easily.
