Description

  The present invention relates to a water supply device for a bird for supplying water to the bird.

As a conventional water supply device for small birds, there is known a water tank for storing water inside and a water tray for storing water supplied from the water tank and allowing the small birds to drink water. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).
JP-A-1-240127

  The relationship between small birds and water is not just drinking water. Birds take a bath to wash away ticks and other insects on their wings. The inventor of the present application has developed a water supply device for a small bird that can make the bird perform both drinking and bathing, paying attention to the fact that the relationship between the bird and the water is not only drinking but also bathing. .

  In the course of the development, the inventor of the present application causes the water on the water tray to flow back into the water tank due to the small bird's bathing. As a result, it has been found that a user of a water supply device for a bird such as a small bird owner must change the water in the water tank frequently, which places a burden on the user.

  Then, an object of this invention is to provide the convenient water supply apparatus for small birds which can make a small bird perform both drinking and bathing without putting an excessive burden on a user.

  The water supply device for a small bird of the present invention comprises a water tank for storing water therein, and a water tray for storing the water supplied from the water tank and allowing the bird to drink and bathe, The tank includes a water supply hole for supplying the water to the water tray, and an upper hole arranged at a position above the water supply hole in a vertical direction. The water supply hole and the water The upper holes are formed in such a size that the water is held by surface tension, assuming that only the holes are formed in the water tank.

  The water supply hole and the upper hole are formed in such a size that water is held by surface tension, assuming that only the water tank itself is formed as a hole. With this configuration, the water supply device for a bird according to the present invention reduces the amount of water on the water tray so that when the water is supplied from the water tank to the water tray through the water supply hole, the water is supplied to the water supply hole. Since a small amount is supplied from the inside of the water tank to the water tray due to resistance, the bottom of the water tray is moved by the momentum of the water supplied from the inside of the water tank to the water tray through the water supply hole. Sediment such as feathers that have settled can be prevented from being rolled up, thereby preventing in-water dust on the water tray from entering the water tank through the water supply hole or upper hole. it can. Moreover, since the water supply device for small birds of the present invention has a minute hole for water supply and an upper hole, even if dust is floating in the water on the water tray, It is possible to prevent dust larger than the water supply hole or the upper hole from entering the water tank through the water supply hole or the upper hole due to a water flow caused by a small bird bath. In addition, the water supply device for a bird of the present invention has a water supply hole from the water tank when the water on the water tray is reduced and water is supplied from the water tank to the water tray through the water supply hole. Instead of the water supplied to the water tray through the air, air is introduced into the water tank through the water supply hole or the upper hole, and this air is also supplied from the water tank through the water supply hole. Since the same small amount of water as the water supplied on the tray is introduced into the water tank, it is possible to entrain the waste water on the water tray together with this air into the water tank through the water supply hole or upper hole. Can be suppressed. As described above, the water supply device for small birds according to the present invention can prevent the underwater garbage on the water tray from entering the water tank through the water supply hole or the upper hole. The exchange frequency of the water inside can be suppressed, and the burden on the user can be suppressed. That is, the water supply device for small birds can allow the small birds to perform both drinking and bathing without imposing an excessive burden on the user.

  The water supply device for a small bird of the present invention comprises a water tank for storing water therein, and a water tray for storing the water supplied from the water tank and allowing the bird to drink and bathe, The tank is formed with water supply holes for supplying the water to the water tray, and the water supply holes are elongated holes having different positions in the vertical direction at both ends in the longitudinal direction. Assuming that it is a round hole having a diameter in a direction perpendicular to the diameter, the water is formed in such a size as to be held by surface tension.

  Assuming that the water supply holes are round holes whose positions in the vertical direction at both ends in the longitudinal direction are different and are round holes having a diameter in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, the water is retained by surface tension. The size is formed. With this configuration, the water supply device for a bird according to the present invention reduces the amount of water on the water tray so that when the water is supplied from the water tank to the water tray through the water supply hole, the water is supplied to the water supply hole. Since a small amount is supplied from the inside of the water tank to the water tray due to resistance, the bottom of the water tray is moved by the momentum of the water supplied from the inside of the water tank to the water tray through the water supply hole. It is possible to suppress the dust such as feathers that have been precipitated from being wound up, and thereby it is possible to suppress the underwater dust on the water tray from entering the water tank through the water supply hole. In addition, since the water supply device for small birds of the present invention has a minute water supply hole, even if dust is floating in the water on the water tray, Further, it is possible to prevent dust larger than the water supply hole from entering the water tank through the water supply hole due to a water flow caused by a small bird bath. In addition, the water supply device for a bird of the present invention has a water supply hole from the water tank when the water on the water tray is reduced and water is supplied from the water tank to the water tray through the water supply hole. Instead of the water supplied to the water tray via the air, air is introduced into the water tank via the water supply hole, and this air also enters the water tray from the water tank via the water supply hole. Since the same minute amount as that of the supplied water is introduced, it is possible to suppress the trash in the water tray on the water tray from being entrained into the water tank through the water supply hole. As described above, the water supply device for a bird of the present invention can suppress the entry of underwater garbage on the water tray into the water tank through the water supply hole. Replacement frequency can be reduced, and the burden on the user can be reduced. That is, the water supply device for small birds can allow the small birds to perform both drinking and bathing without imposing an excessive burden on the user.

  The water supply device for small birds of the present invention can allow a small bird to perform both drinking and bathing without imposing an excessive burden on the user.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

(First embodiment)
First, the structure of the water supply apparatus for small birds which concerns on the 1st Embodiment of this invention is demonstrated.

  FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of a small bird water supply apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment. 2, 3, and 4 are a front view, a right side view, and a plan view of the water supply device 10 for a bird, respectively. FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view of the small bird water supply apparatus 10 as seen from the back side.

  As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 5, the water supply device 10 for a bird includes a water tank 20 for forming a water supply hole 20 a for supplying water and storing water therein, A water tray 30 is provided for collecting water falling from the inside to the outside of the water tank 20 through the water supply hole 20a and allowing the bird to drink and bathe, and is fixed to a birdcage (not shown). Is.

  In the water tank 20, a water inlet 20 b through which a user puts water into the water tank 20 is formed in the upper part. The water inlet 20b can be blocked by the stopper 23. Further, the water tank 20 has an upper hole 20c formed in the lower part, the position in the vertical direction indicated by the arrow 10a from the water supply hole 20a is located on the upper side. The water supply hole 20a is formed in such a size that water is held by surface tension, assuming that the upper hole 20c is not formed in the water tank 20 but only the hole itself is formed. Similarly, the upper hole 20c is formed in a size that allows water to be held by surface tension, assuming that the water tank 20 is not formed with a water supply hole 20a but only the hole itself is formed as a hole. .

  Here, the water tank 20 is bonded to the other end of the cylinder 21 with a cylinder 21 having a water inlet 20b formed at one end and an inclined other end, and a water supply hole 20a and an upper hole 20c. And the plate 22.

  For example, the plate thickness of the cylinder 21 and the plate 22 is 3 mm. Moreover, the outer diameter of the cylinder 21 is 5 cm. The upper hole 20c of the plate 22 is a round hole having a diameter of 3 mm, and the center position is a position 33 mm from the lower end of the plate 22. The water supply hole 20 a of the plate 22 is a round hole having a diameter of 3 mm, and the center position is a position 25 mm from the lower end of the plate 22.

  The water tray 30 includes a cylinder 31 and a plate 32 bonded to one end of the cylinder 31. The other end of the cylinder 31 is bonded to the plate 22 from the side opposite to the cylinder 21 with respect to the plate 22.

  For example, the thickness of the cylinder 31 and the plate 32 is 3 mm. The cylinder 31 has an outer diameter of 5 cm and a total length of 15 cm. The plate 32 has a shape in which a round plate having a diameter of 5 cm is halved.

  FIG. 6 is a side view of the cylinder 40 before the cylinder 21 and the cylinder 31 are cut out.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the cylinder 21 and the cylinder 31 are cut out from one cylinder 40 by cutting lines 40a and 40b indicated by broken lines.

  Next, the function of the water supply device 10 for small birds will be described.

  FIG. 7 is a side cross-sectional view of the water supply device 10 for a small bird, just before the water 80 falls from the water tank 20 to the outside of the water tank 20 through the water supply hole 20a. FIG. 8 is a side sectional view of the water supply device 10 for a bird, and is a view immediately after the water 80 has dropped from the water tank 20 to the outside of the water tank 20 through the water supply hole 20a. FIG. 9 is a side cross-sectional view of the water supply device 10 for a small bird, and is a view when water 80 is accumulated in the water tray 30.

  When the user removes the plug 23 of the water tank 20 and puts water 80 into the water tank 20 from the water inlet 20b of the water tank 20, the water inlet 20b is closed with the plug 23 as shown in FIG. The air 85 outside the water tank 20 is introduced into the water tank 20 through the water supply hole 20a. At this time, the water 80 in the water tank 20 temporarily passes through the upper hole 20c by the volume of the air 85 introduced from the outside of the water tank 20 into the water tank 20 through the water supply hole 20a. Although it protrudes out of the water tank 20, it is suppressed from falling on the water tray 30 by surface tension. Then, as shown in FIG. 8, when the water 80 protruding from the water tank 20 through the upper hole 20c temporarily returns to the original state, the water 80 in the water tank 20 is returned to the water supply hole. It falls out of the water tank 20 through 20a. By repeating this operation, the water 80 in the water tank 20 continues to drop by a minute amount outside the water tank 20 through the water supply hole 20a. Then, as shown in FIG. 9, when the water level of the water 80 on the water tray 30 becomes substantially the same as the water supply hole 20a, the water supply hole 20a is completely closed by the surface tension of the water 80, and the water tank 20 Since the air 85 does not enter the water tank 20 from the outside through the water supply hole 20a, the water 80 does not come out of the water tank 20 from the water tank 20 through the water supply hole 20a.

  FIG. 10 is a view showing a small bird 90 drinking the water 80 accumulated in the water tray 30. As shown in FIG. 10, the small bird 90 can drink the water 80 accumulated in the water tray 30. The bird 90 has a body length of 12 cm from the heel to the tail, for example.

  FIG. 11 is a view showing a small bird 90 that is bathing in the water 80 accumulated in the water tray 30. As shown in FIG. 11, the small bird 90 can also perform a water bath with water 80 collected in the water tray 30.

  When the bird 90 drinks water 80 on the water tray 30 or bathes in the water 80 on the water tray 30, the amount of water 80 on the water tray 30 decreases. In particular, when the small bird 90 performs a water bath, the water 80 on the water tray 30 overflows from, for example, the portion of the plate 32 and decreases to a large extent. When the amount of the water 80 on the water tray 30 decreases and the water supply hole 20a is not blocked by the water 80 on the water tray 30, the water supply hole 20a is blocked by the water 80 on the water tray 30. Until the water tray 30 becomes, the water 80 is supplied again from the water tank 20 through the water supply hole 20a.

  Assuming that only the water supply hole 20a and the upper hole 20c are formed as holes in the water tank 20 respectively, the water supply hole 20a and the upper hole 20c are formed in such a size that the water 80 is held by surface tension. Therefore, the water supply device 10 for small birds supplies water 80 when the water 80 on the water tray 30 decreases and the water 80 is supplied from the water tank 20 to the water tray 30 through the water supply hole 20a. Since a small amount is supplied from the inside of the water tank 20 to the water tray 30 due to resistance at the use hole 20a, the water 80 supplied from the inside of the water tank 20 to the water tray 30 through the water supply hole 20a. It is possible to prevent the dust such as feathers that have settled on the bottom of the water tray 30 from being rolled up by the momentum of the flow of the water, so that the dust in the water 80 on the water tray 30 passes through the water supply hole 20a. Intrusion into the water tank 20 can be suppressed.

  Further, since the water supply device 10 for a bird has a small water supply hole 20a, even if dust is floating on the water 80 on the water tray 30, It is possible to prevent dust larger than the water supply hole 20a from entering the water tank 20 through the water supply hole 20a due to a water flow caused by a small bird bath.

  In addition, the water supply device 10 for the small bird is provided in the water tank 20 when the water 80 on the water tray 30 is reduced and the water 80 is supplied from the water tank 20 to the water tray 30 through the water supply hole 20a. The air 85 is introduced into the water tank 20 through the water supply hole 20a instead of the water 80 supplied to the water tray 30 from the water supply hole 20a through the water supply hole 20a. Since it is introduced into the water tank 20 by the same minute amount as the water 80 supplied to the water tray 30 from the inside through the water supply hole 20a, the dust in the water 80 on the water tray 30 together with the air 85 is introduced. Can be prevented from being caught in the water tank 20 through the water supply hole 20a.

  As described above, the water supply device for small birds 10 can suppress the entry of underwater dust on the water tray 30 into the water tank 20 through the water supply hole 20a. The frequency of replacement of the water 80 can be reduced, and the burden on the user can be reduced. In other words, the small bird water supply apparatus 10 can cause the small bird to perform both drinking and bathing without imposing an excessive burden on the user.

  In addition, it is preferable to add 0.1% or more of vinegar to the water 80. Thereby, bacteriostatic action and bactericidal action can be expected, and water quality can be maintained for a long time. Moreover, it can be expected that the water scale attached to the water tray 30 is dropped and the water tray 30 is prevented from being stained.

(Second Embodiment)
First, the structure of the water supply device for small birds which concerns on the 2nd Embodiment of this invention is demonstrated.

  In addition, about the structure similar to the structure of the water supply apparatus 10 for birds according to 1st Embodiment (refer FIG. 5) among the structures of the water supply apparatus for birds according to this Embodiment, the water supply apparatus 10 for birds The same reference numerals as those in FIG.

  FIG. 12 is an exploded perspective view of the small bird water supply apparatus 110 according to the present embodiment as viewed from the back side.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the structure of the water supply device for small birds 110 is such that the water supply device for small birds 10 includes a water tank 120 and a water tray 130 instead of the water tank 20 and the water tray 30 (see FIG. 5). The configuration is the same.

  The structure of the water tank 120 includes a cylinder 121 having a water inlet 20b formed at one end, a cylinder 122 having one end bonded to the other end of the cylinder 121, a water supply hole 20a, and an upper hole 20c. The plate 123 bonded to the other end of 122 is replaced with the cylinder 21 (see FIG. 5) and the plate 22 (see FIG. 5) in the same configuration as the water tank 20 (see FIG. 5). The plate 123 is arranged in parallel to the vertical direction indicated by the arrow 10a.

  For example, the thickness of the cylinder 121, the cylinder 122, and the plate 123 is 3 mm. Moreover, the outer diameters of the cylinder 121 and the cylinder 122 are 5 cm. Further, the upper hole 20 c of the plate 123 is a round hole having a diameter of 3 mm, and the center position is a position 23 mm from the lower end of the plate 123. Further, the water supply hole 20 a of the plate 123 is a round hole having a diameter of 3 mm, and the center position is a position of 18 mm from the lower end of the plate 123.

  The water tray 130 has a configuration in which the water tray 30 (see FIG. 5) includes a cylinder 131 instead of the cylinder 31 (see FIG. 5). The other end of the tube 131 is bonded to the plate 123 from the side opposite to the tube 122 with respect to the plate 123.

  For example, the thickness of the cylinder 131 is 3 mm. The cylinder 131 has an outer diameter of 5 cm and a total length of 10 cm.

  Next, the function of the water supply device 110 for birds will be described.

  FIG. 13 is a side sectional view of the water supply device 110 for small birds, and is a view when the water 80 is dropped from the water tank 120 to the outside of the water tank 120 through the water supply hole 20a. FIG. 14 is a side cross-sectional view of the water supply device 110 for a bird, and is a view when water 80 is accumulated in the water tray 130.

  When the user removes the plug 23 of the water tank 120 and puts water 80 into the water tank 120 from the water inlet 20b of the water tank 120 and then closes the water inlet 20b with the stopper 23, as shown in FIG. Air 85 continues to enter the water tank 120 from the outside of the water tank 120 through the upper hole 20c little by little, and at the same time, the water 80 slightly enters the water tank 120 from the water tank 120 through the water supply hole 20a. Continue to fall by an appropriate amount. Then, as shown in FIG. 14, when the water level of the water 80 on the water tray 130 reaches almost the same height as the upper hole 20 c, the upper hole 20 c is completely closed by the surface tension of the water 80, and the upper hole is formed from the outside of the water tank 120. Since the air 85 does not enter the water tank 120 through 20c, the water 80 does not come out of the water tank 120 from the water tank 120 through the water supply hole 20a.

  When the bird drinks water 80 on the water tray 130 or bathes in the water 80 on the water tray 130, the amount of water 80 on the water tray 130 decreases. In particular, when a small bird bathes, the water 80 on the water tray 130 overflows from, for example, the portion of the plate 32 and decreases to a large extent. When the amount of water 80 on the water tray 130 decreases and the upper hole 20c is not blocked by the water 80 on the water tray 130, the air 85 enters the water tank 120 from the outside of the water tank 120 through the upper hole 20c. Therefore, the water 80 is supplied again from the water tank 120 through the water supply hole 20a until the upper hole 20c is blocked by the water 80 on the water tray 130.

  Assuming that only the water supply hole 20a and the upper hole 20c are formed as holes in the water tank 120, the water 80 is formed in a size that allows the water 80 to be held by surface tension. Therefore, the water supply device 110 for small birds supplies the water 80 when the water 80 on the water tray 130 decreases and the water 80 is supplied from the water tank 120 to the water tray 130 through the water supply hole 20a. Since a small amount is supplied from the inside of the water tank 120 to the water tray 130 due to resistance at the use hole 20a, the water 80 supplied from the inside of the water tank 120 to the water tray 130 through the water supply hole 20a. It is possible to prevent the dust such as feathers that have settled at the bottom of the water tray 130 from being rolled up by the momentum of the flow of the water, so that the dust in the water 80 on the water tray 130 can be removed from the water supply hole 20a or above. It is possible to suppress entry into the water tank 120 through the hole 20c.

  Further, since the water supply device 110 for the bird has the water supply hole 20a and the upper hole 20c formed minutely, even if dust is floating on the water 80 on the water tray 130, Of the water 80 in the water 80 is prevented from entering the water tank 120 through the water supply hole 20a or the upper hole 20c due to a water flow caused by a water bath of a small bird. can do.

  In addition, the water supply device 110 for the small bird is provided in the water tank 120 when the water 80 on the water tray 130 decreases and the water 80 is supplied from the water tank 120 to the water tray 130 through the water supply hole 20a. From the inside of the water tank 120, the air 85 is introduced into the water tank 120 through the upper hole 20c instead of the water 80 supplied onto the water tray 130 from the water supply hole 20a. Since the same minute amount as the water 80 supplied onto the water tray 130 through the water supply hole 20a is introduced into the water tank 120, the dust in the water 80 on the water tray 130 together with the air 85 is increased. It is possible to prevent the water tank 120 from being caught through the hole 20c.

  As described above, since the water supply device 110 for the small bird can prevent the underwater garbage on the water tray 130 from entering the water tank 120 through the water supply hole 20a or the upper hole 20c, The replacement frequency of the water 80 in the water tank 120 can be suppressed, and the burden on the user can be suppressed. That is, the water supply device for small birds 110 can cause the small birds to perform both drinking and bathing without imposing an excessive burden on the user.

(Third embodiment)
First, the structure of the water supply device for small birds which concerns on the 3rd Embodiment of this invention is demonstrated.

  In addition, about the structure similar to the structure of the water supply apparatus 10 for birds according to 1st Embodiment (refer FIG. 5) among the structures of the water supply apparatus for birds according to this Embodiment, the water supply apparatus 10 for birds The same reference numerals as those in FIG.

  FIG. 15 is an exploded perspective view as seen from the back side of water supply device 210 for a bird according to the present embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 15, the configuration of the small bird water supply device 210 is the same as the configuration in which the small bird water supply device 10 includes a plate 222 instead of the plate 22 (see FIG. 5).

  The plate 222 is formed with a water supply hole 220a for supplying water. The water supply hole 220a is a long hole having different positions in the vertical direction indicated by the arrow 10a at the upper end 220b and the lower end 220c, which are both ends in the longitudinal direction indicated by the arrow 220d, and the arrow 220e perpendicular to the longitudinal direction indicated by the arrow 220d. Assuming that it is a round hole whose diameter is the length in the direction indicated by, the water is formed in such a size as to be held by surface tension.

  For example, the thickness of the plate 222 is 3 mm. Further, the water supply hole 220a of the plate 222 has a position of the upper end 220b and a position of the lower end 220c of 33 mm and 15 mm from the lower end of the plate 222, respectively, and the length in the direction indicated by the arrow 220e is 3 mm.

  Next, the function of the water supply device 210 for birds will be described.

  FIG. 16 is a side sectional view of the water supply device 210 for a small bird, and is a view when the water 80 has fallen from the water tank 20 to the outside of the water tank 20 through the water supply hole 220a. FIG. 17 is a side cross-sectional view of the small bird water supply apparatus 210 when the water 80 is accumulated in the water tray 30.

  When the user removes the plug 23 of the water tank 20 and puts water 80 into the water tank 20 from the water inlet 20b of the water tank 20, the water inlet 20b is closed with the plug 23 as shown in FIG. On the upper end 220b side of the water supply hole 220a, air 85 continues to enter the water tank 20 from the outside of the water tank 20 through the water supply hole 220a little by little and at the same time on the lower end 220c side of the water supply hole 220a. The water 80 continues to drop from the water tank 20 to the outside of the water tank 20 through the water supply hole 220a. Then, as shown in FIG. 17, when the water level of the water 80 on the water tray 30 is almost the same height as the upper end 220b of the water supply hole 220a, the water supply hole 220a is completely blocked by the surface tension of the water 80. Since the air 85 does not enter the water tank 20 from the outside of the water tank 20 through the water supply hole 220a, the water 80 does not come out of the water tank 20 through the water supply hole 220a.

  When the bird drinks water 80 on the water tray 30 or bathes in the water 80 on the water tray 30, the amount of water 80 on the water tray 30 decreases. In particular, when a small bird bathes, the water 80 on the water tray 30 overflows from, for example, the portion of the plate 32 and decreases to a large extent. When the amount of water 80 on the water tray 30 decreases and the upper end 220b of the water supply hole 220a is not blocked by the water 80 on the water tray 30, the upper end 220b side of the water supply hole 220a is moved from the outside of the water tank 20 to the side. Since air 85 enters the water tank 20 through the water tray 20, the water supply hole 220 a is inserted into the water tray 30 from the water tank 20 until the water supply hole 220 a is completely blocked by the water 80 on the water tray 30. Water 80 is supplied again via the lower end 220c side of 220a.

  The water supply holes 220a are elongated holes whose positions in the vertical direction indicated by the arrows 10a at both ends in the longitudinal direction are different, and whose length is the length in the direction indicated by the arrow 220e perpendicular to the longitudinal direction indicated by the arrow 220d. Assuming that it is a hole, the water 80 is formed in such a size that it can be held by surface tension. Accordingly, the water supply device 210 for small birds supplies the water 80 when the water 80 on the water tray 30 decreases and the water 80 is supplied from the water tank 20 to the water tray 30 through the water supply hole 220a. Since a small amount is supplied from the inside of the water tank 20 to the water tray 30 due to resistance at the use hole 220a, the water 80 supplied from the inside of the water tank 20 to the water tray 30 through the water supply hole 220a. It is possible to prevent the dust such as feathers that have settled on the bottom of the water tray 30 from being rolled up by the momentum of the flow of the water, so that the dust in the water 80 on the water tray 30 passes through the water supply hole 220a. Intrusion into the water tank 20 can be suppressed.

  Further, since the water supply device 210 for a bird has a minute water supply hole 220a, even if dust is floating in the water 80 on the water tray 30, It is possible to prevent dust larger than the water supply hole 220a from entering the water tank 20 through the water supply hole 220a due to a water flow caused by a small bird bath.

  In addition, the water supply device 210 for the small bird is provided in the water tank 20 when the water 80 on the water tray 30 is reduced and the water 80 is supplied from the water tank 20 to the water tray 30 through the water supply hole 220a. Air 85 is introduced into the water tank 20 through the water supply hole 220a in place of the water 80 supplied to the water tray 30 from the water supply hole 220a through the water supply hole 220a. Since the same minute amount as the water 80 supplied onto the water tray 30 through the water supply hole 220a is introduced from the inside, the dust in the water 80 on the water tray 30 together with the air 85 is removed from the water supply hole. It is possible to suppress entanglement in the water tank 20 via 220a.

  As described above, since the water supply device for small birds 210 can suppress dust in the water 80 on the water tray 30 from entering the water tank 20 through the water supply holes 220a, the water tank The frequency of replacement of the water 80 in 20 can be suppressed, and the burden on the user can be suppressed. In other words, the small bird water supply apparatus 210 can cause the small bird to perform both drinking and bathing without imposing an excessive burden on the user.
