OBJECT OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an artificial roost for birds, applicable for the concentration, housing and control of invasive bird species, such as starlings and other similar species.

1st

Field of application of the invention. This invention is applicable in the field of wildlife control in urban, industrial and agricultural environments.

Background of the invention. The reason for the invention is to obtain a response to the increasing incidents caused by bird species in massively difficult to control and regulate concentrations, mainly starlings, although other bird species that show similar invasion and movement behaviors of other birds are also considered of the environment. These species determine their movements, positions and customs in environments that ensure their well-being (shelter, food, predators, nests, etc.), so the invasion is repeated in urban, industrial and agricultural environments; It is impossible to coexist for reasons: Hygienic-sanitary. Passive risks. Impairment of heritage. Invasion of native species (nests, innkeepers, etc.) Large losses in agriculture. Geometric growth of the species Reduction of food resources of other native species

The applicant of the present invention is unaware of the existence

background that satisfactorily solve the problem

exposed.

Description of the invention

The artificial roost for birds, object of this invention,

it presents some technical peculiarities destined to offer some means

Effective displacement of invasive bird communities from areas

in which they are annoying and harmful to areas where they cause less

1st

problems, and even being able to control its population. The roost is devised

to cause the least environmental impact. This invention allows the

execution of a set of actions for its dispersion and the creation of a

enabled place for the species to control, with the objective that the birds

dismiss the inhabited, industrialized and agricultural areas.

fifteen

According to the invention, the artificial roost comprises: -a ship

which has access windows for the birds inside, a

plurality of innkeepers inside, heating means of the

inside the ship, a means of gassing for the eventual control of the

bird population; -at least a few support towers of some wires or

twenty

external preposers and, a means of dispensing beverage and food

for the birds.

The mentioned means of heating of the interior of the ship and the

means of dispensing beverages and food, have the purpose of

birds find greater comfort to attract them from other sites.

25

These heating means are especially appropriate in winter,

time when birds can cause more damage by concentrating on

greater number in search of food.

The gassing means allow to control the

bird population when they are inside.

30

This roost offers conditions that are very attractive

   to birds, and considering that certain invasive species, such

Like starlings, they are very possessive and dominant, it is easy to displace

a colony or community of birds to these facilities. The roost is

install in a suitable place so that your presence is not annoying, and results

a place of migration of the species in question. When it has been detected that

5

the population of individuals is of considerable size, the roost allows

regulate said population by exterminating, by gassing, the birds that are

They find inside.

In one embodiment of the invention, the roost comprises a

near fencing around the ship and second support towers of

1st

a second outer threads or preposaders.

These second towers allow the approach of birds

from great distances as the first stopping point before entering the

Ship and look for a safe innkeeper where to spend the night.

In order to facilitate the access of birds through the windows of

fifteen

the ship, the roost comprises some preposaderos next to the windows of

the ship and in proximity with the innkeepers safe.

Access windows have closing curtains

temporary, which make it possible to close the ship during the operation of

gassing of the birds inside, preventing gas and these birds from leaving

twenty

To the exterior. These curtains can also be used to determine that

windows remain open or close in order to ventilate the interior of the

Ship or protect from wind.

The gassing means comprise a connection socket in

the exterior of the ship for the introduction of gas and some internal pipes of

25

distribution of it.

The heating means comprise pipes of

distribution of hot water inside the ship, connected to some

solar panels.

In another embodiment, the heating means comprise a

30

hot air turbine

   The roost comprises a means of lighting the environment

of the ship, which makes it more visible early in the morning and

late in the afternoon that is when the birds leave or enter the

Safe innkeepers and have more movement. It also enables the

operators responsible for maintenance work around the ship's

5

night or hours of certain darkness.

The roost comprises an audio system with speakers for

surveillance, these speakers being arranged primarily in one of the

Towers was: - a of the ship.

The ship comprises an access gate, by which the

1st

Operators can come and go to perform various tasks of

maintenance and cleaning.

In turn, the ship comprises a trapdoor in its deck

upper for access from inside to said upper deck if it is

Operators need access.

fifteen

The ship comprises on the adjacent exterior a dovecot, which

enables nesting in breeding season, separately from others

Adults.

   Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

As can be seen in the referenced figures, the

rocking chair comprises a ship (11) inside which is a plurality of innkeepers (15) for birds, formed by transverse elements extended between two opposite walls and superimposed in parallel planes, with the ship's walls (11) presenting windows (18) of access to the interior.

These windows (18) are equipped with closing curtains (9), and outer preposader (1 O) to facilitate the entry and exit of birds.

The ship (11) has a main access gate (14) for operators to carry out maintenance operations and on the upper deck (7) a trapdoor (8), which allows access to said deck (7).

The ship (11) presents in its upper part some first towers

(2) upper ones that emerge from the cover (7), being between said first towers (2) some upper threads or first pre-brackets (4).

The roost comprises means for dispensing drinks and food, consisting of dispensers (3) arranged in the cover (7) for dosing to lower elements.

Also the roost comprises heating means inside the ship (11). In this case, the heating means comprise a solar panel (6) for water heating that is distributed by pipes (24) inside the ship (11). As assistance for said heating means, it is provided that hot air turbines (22) are located inside the building (11).

The ship (11) comprises a gassing means for the control of the poultry population. These gassing means comprise a connection socket (13) outside the ship (11) and gas distribution pipes (23) throughout the interior of the ship (11).

This roost is installed in an enclosure defined by an exterior fence (17), water ponds (19) and food distribution points (20), external to the ship (11), of those beverage and food dispensing means.

In the enclosure defined by the exterior fence (17) of the nave (11), there are second towers (16) of notable greater height than the first 5 towers (2). Among these second towers (16) are some

second preposaderos (21) for the approach of the birds from afar.

On the towers (2, 16) are spotlights (1) corresponding to lighting means of the enclosure and the roof (7).

10 The roost features an audio system (5) with speakers, for surveillance, which in this case are installed in a tower on the deck (7). The ship (11) has an independent access dove (12) adjacent to one side.

Once the nature of the invention has been sufficiently described, as well as a preferred embodiment, it is stated for the appropriate purposes that the materials, shape, size and arrangement of the elements described may be modified, provided that this does not imply alteration of the essential features of the invention that are claimed
