Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] (Industrial application field) This invention relates to a birdhouse.

(Prior art) In birdhouses, the diameter of the nest hole (diameter of entrance and exit) needs to be adjusted to the size of the bird, and the height also changes depending on the size of the bird. Even if a specific size is required for actual use, it is inconvenient that it cannot be replaced with a different size. For this reason, Utsukai Showa 61-
The idea of No. 148172 was proposed, but it only changes the diameter of the nest hole and cannot change the height, so there is a problem that it cannot adequately accommodate differences in bird species.

(Technical Problem) The present invention solves the above problem, and its purpose is to provide a nest box that can be shared by birds of different sizes.

(Technical Means) The present invention which achieves the above object has an opening 2 at a predetermined height in the main body 1 of the nest box, which has a size suitable for a predetermined type of bird, and has an opening 2 having a diameter that allows entry and exit of the bird. , an engaging part 3 removably formed in this entrance/exit 2
This nest box is formed by forming a small entrance 5 with a diameter suitable for smaller birds in a nest hole adapter 4 having a burrow adapter 4, making the diameter of the nest variable variable, and providing a raised bottom member 7 adapted to the height of the small entrance 5. It is.

(Operation of the invention) When the main body 1 of the nest box is made to a size suitable for a predetermined bird such as a medium-sized bird, the entrance 2, that is, the nest hole, is opened at a diameter and height position corresponding to the size, and the nest box for the desired bird is made. Served. Furthermore, since a nest hole adapter 4 having a small entrance/exit 5 can be attached to the entrance/exit, it can also be used for smaller birds.In this case, the height of the burrow can be changed by using the raised bottom member 7, making it more suitable. It becomes a nest box.

(Example) To explain with an example, the nest box has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape and consists of a main body 1 having four walls, a removable roof 6 and a bottom 8, and the nest box is placed on the upper surface of the main body 1 at a desired height. An entrance/exit 2 serving as a hole is provided, and the size of the main body 1 and the diameter of the entrance/exit 2 are formed to suit, for example, a medium-sized bird. Reference numeral 4 designates a burrow adapter, which has an engaging portion 3 protruding from one side, and can be attached by engaging its engaging claw 9 with the inner edge of the entrance/exit 2. For easy attachment/detachment, the engaging portion A vertical slit 10 is formed in.

The burrow adapter 4 has a small opening 5 of a diameter suitable for smaller birds. In addition, for medium-sized birds such as shelled birds, chicks, and long-tailed birds, the diameter of entrance 2 is 4.0 to 6.0.
cm is suitable, whereas for small birds such as white-eyes and white-eyes, the diameter of the small entrance 5 is 2.8 to 3.0 cm, and the height from the bottom is about 18 to 22 cm for the former and 15 cm for the latter. It is said that That is why I mentioned height in addition to aperture above.

Therefore, leg pieces 7a are provided as raised bottom members at the four corners of the bottom of the main body 1, and a raised bottom plate 7b is placed on them.
The height H from the raised bottom plate 7b to the nest hole 5 is designed to be an appropriate dimension. 11 is the raised bottom plate 7b
This is a drainage hole formed in the Further, 12 is an engagement piece of the roof 6, 13 is an upper edge of the main body that engages with the engagement piece 12,
Reference numeral 14 indicates a belt passage hole provided on one side of the main body 1, and reference numeral 15 indicates an attachment belt. Note that each part of the embodiment is formed by molding a synthetic resin.

(Effect of the invention) Therefore, according to the invention, a birdhouse of the required size can be used as a nesting box for the type of bird originally intended for nesting, which is suitable for the size of the main body 1 and the entrance/exit 2 which is the nest hole. By attaching the burrow adapter 4, the size of the burrow can be changed, and the raised bottom member 7 can be used.
Since the position of the nest hole can be changed to a height suitable for the bird species that selects the nest hole, the nest box can be suitably used as a nest box for the type of bird determined by the diameter of the small entrance 5. Therefore, by manufacturing small quantities in large quantities, it is possible to supply a wide variety of products in small quantities by replacing adapters and the like. Furthermore, since the nest hole adapter 4 and raised bottom member 7 suitable for the intended bird can be used during use, there is true versatility, and the practical effect is remarkable.

Claims (1)

[Scope of Claim for Utility Model Registration] (1) A main body 1 of the nest box that is of a size suitable for a predetermined type of bird, and an entrance 2 of a diameter that allows the bird to enter and exit.
is opened at a predetermined height position, and the nest hole adapter 4 has an engaging part 3 removably formed in the entrance/exit 2. A small entrance/exit 5 with a diameter suitable for smaller birds is formed in the nest hole adapter 4 to reduce the diameter of the burrow. This birdhouse is made variable and is provided with a raised bottom member 7 adapted to the height of a small entrance 5. (2) The birdhouse according to claim 1, wherein the main body 1 has a removable roof 6.
