Description

"CONTAINER FOR CATCHING AND CONTAINING BIRDS".

This patent refers to the improvements introduced in container for bird capture and containment, mainly pigeons, with the purpose of capturing and containing birds in a specific and exclusive space, in order to avoid infestations and to enable the control of diseases caused by contamination of said birds. , population control, species preservation, and controlled and supervised, presenting the advantages of being a simple, effective, highly attractive and functional device.

As is well known to meiostechnicos linked to the breeding and breeding control of birds, currently the population of birds, especially pigeons has been increasing significantly in both urban and rural areas, affecting mainly ports, airports, public places, landfills, hospitals, buildings. commercial and residences, grain crops, and industry and food depots such as silos and warehouses. Pests considered to be pests, such as pigeons, generate high costs related to cleaning, maintenance and upkeep of facilities, and are responsible for the transmission of various diseases that occur, often not directly to the bird, but for dust that contains its dried feces contaminated with fungi and bacteria. It can affect the central nervous system of humans and cause serious respiratory diseases. Also pigeon lice, mites that live in your body, can be transmitted to humans and cause very severe allergies and dermatitis. Current bird control methods range from educational methods to contraceptive products. The first one is based on the orientation to the population about feeding the birds and about waste management. In the second case, contraceptive products sterilize birds, more specifically pigeons, preventing their proliferation. There is also the control adopted by screens at bird access sites, nail-studded nylon threads at a minimum 60 ° angle on bird support surfaces, and by applying repellent chemicals on supporting surfaces.

Searching the Brazilian and International patent banks, we find the following patents in the state of the art:

European Patent DE 19853220 disclosing a pigeon replacement method that involves trapping bait for containment and transport away from urban centers. Pigeons are captured on site in containers and transported to a distant center of their own trap or in a different transport container. This container trap contains a grid, the bars of which are formed in part by oblong rollers, having an opening with automatic closing operation when the mechanism is engaged. The trap can be attached to the walls of buildings and may contain bait.

US Patent 4779373 requires a bird-mounted trap designed to capture and maintain, preferably pigeons, containing storage space within the trap without injuring or harming birds during the capture or storage procedure. The locking element and the inlet device are cooperatively structured to allow a bird to pass through the inlet and prevent any bird collected in the storage space from exiting the inlet.

Bird controls disclosed in the state of the art are often ineffective methods and devices that are very simple, or very complex and harmful when effective. Nor are they usually suitable for a large number of birds.

"CONTAINER FOR CAPTURE AND

BIRD CONTAINING "was developed to overcome the disadvantages and drawbacks of current methods and devices as it is a simple and effective design as it allows the use of conventional container for its construction, requiring minor adaptations. At the same time, it is an effective device, highly attractive, which does not allow the natural exit of the captured birds, and that allows the capture and storage of large numbers of birds.

The container for bird capture and containment of the present invention has the advantages of enabling population control of birds, preventing contamination and disease caused by them directly or indirectly; the preservation of the species, the selective selection and the genetic improvement, aiming at the elimination of the diseases communicable to humans and the reintroduction of the birds to the environment; assistance in feeding the needy population through controlled and supervised slaughter in regularized slaughterhouses; production of organic compounds (fertilizers); the dissemination of the evils and dangers of these pests to the population; and reduction of costs related to the care of patients with related diseases and the maintenance and conservation of physical facilities damaged by these birds.

For a better understanding of this patent, the following figures are attached:

Figure 1, which shows the upper front perspective view of the bird catching container of the present patent Figure 2., which shows the upper perspective front view of the bird catching container of the present patent;

Figure 3, which shows the upper front perspective view of the bird catch container of this patent without the front cage (6), the upper capture cage (7), the barred windows (10) and the inspection doors (9);

Figure 4, showing the capture funnel (2) of the bird catch container of the present patent with detail of the dimensional dimensions; and

Figure 5, which shows the upper front perspective view of the alternative bird catch container of the present patent containing the barred windows (10), and with the upper capture cage (7) installed longitudinally.

The catch and containment container of the present invention is comprised of a conventional metal container (1) having a rectangular front opening (IA), a rectangular upper opening (IB), two conventional container rear doors (IC), movable rear grille (1-D), with two rails (1-Dl) positioned at the bottom of the grid, of rectangular or circular formator jumps (IE) generally positioned horizontally; by cone-shaped capture funnels (2) with the flat bottom; by food containers (3) of rectangular shape; by L-shaped bait trays (4) located under the catch funnels (2) on the side of the container; by water containers (5) of rectangular shape; a prismatic rectangular front cage (6) with a container port (6-A) and bird support trays (6-B); by an upper catch cage (7); a dispenser (8) located at the rear of the container (1) for the storage of food, water and medicines for keeping captive birds; by inspection ports (9) located on the side of the container (1).

The container (1) may further contain barred windows (10) located on the side of the container (1), and the upper capturing cage (7) along with the rectangular upper opening (IB) have the option of being installed longitudinally as can be viewed. in figure 5.

The size of the opening of the capture funnel (2) varies according to the type of bird to be captured. For example, Columbia Livia's capture funnel (2) (front pigeon) contains "a" quota on the front with 15cm in diameter and height "b" with 12cm height, in the back, dimension "c" with 12cm in diameter, and dimension "d" with 11cm height, and dimension "e" with 30cm length.

For the attraction of birds, containers (3) and (4), and (5) are loaded with food and water respectively. Continuous searching for food and water causes the bird to enter the container through the capture funnel (2), which prevents it from exiting due to its conical shape. Once the bird is inside the container, it will remain inside the container over the jumps (1-E) until the capture operation time is complete. To remove the birds from the inside of container (1), first keep the communication door as container (6-A) open. The operator then slides the rear movable grille (I-D) along the rails (1-D-l) toward the front cage (6). This operation reduces the container space (1) and forces birds into the front cage (6) so that there is no direct contact of the birds with the operator. When the birds are inside the front cage (6), above the bird support trays (6-B), the communication door with the container (6-A) can be closed, and the front cage (6) can be separated from the container (1) and transported by a utility vehicle to some destination of the birds.
