  FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention, and shows an example in which a perch T is used as a bird fixture used by a pet bird. In FIG. 1, 10 is a main body member, and 20 is a fixing member.

  The main body member 10 includes a base part 11, two vertical bar parts 12, and a horizontal bar part 13 that connects tip parts of the two vertical bar parts 12. The base portion 11 is a facing surface 11a in which the surface opposite to the vertical bar portion 12 is a substantially flat surface. A plurality (two in the embodiment) of mounting recesses 11b are formed in the base portion 11 so as to open to the facing surface 11a. The first permanent magnet 14 is housed and fixed in the mounting recess 11b. The first permanent magnet 14 is substantially flush with the facing surface 11a. The twelfth permanent magnet 14 is fixed to the base portion 11 using an adhesive, but it is preferable to secure the fixed state by tight fitting.

  The base portion of the vertical bar portion 12 is fixed to the base portion 11. This fixing is performed, for example, by tightly fitting the base end portion of the vertical bar portion 12 in the mounting hole formed in the base portion 11. The base part 11 and the vertical bar part 12 can be fixed by using a fixing tool such as an adhesive, a nail, or a bolt. However, in order to secure a favorable environment for birds as much as possible, an adhesive is used. Also, fixing without using a metal fixture is preferable.

  The two vertical bar portions 12 are disposed substantially parallel to each other and extend so as to be substantially orthogonal to the facing surface 11 a of the base portion 11. One horizontal bar portion 13 that is elongated in the horizontal direction is fixed to the tip end portions of the two vertical bar portions 12. This fixing is performed by tightly fitting the tip end portion of the vertical bar portion 12 in the mounting hole formed in the horizontal bar portion 13. The horizontal bar 13 and the vertical bar 12 can be fixed using a fixture such as an adhesive, a nail, or a bolt. Fixing without using an adhesive or metal fixture is preferred.

  In the main body member 10 as described above, the base part 11, the vertical bar part 12, and the horizontal bar part 13 are each formed of natural wood.

  The fixing member 20 is formed in a substantially flat plate shape using natural wood. The fixing member 20 has an opposing surface 20a whose one surface is substantially flat. An attachment recess 20b is formed in the fixing member 20 so as to open to the facing 20a. The second permanent magnet 21 is housed and fixed in the mounting recess 20b. The second permanent magnet 21 is substantially flush with the facing surface 20a. Although the 2nd permanent magnet 21 is being fixed to the fixing member 20 using an adhesive material, it is preferable to ensure a fixed state by tight fitting.

  The first permanent magnet 14 and the second permanent magnet 21 face each other with the facing surface 20a of the fixing member 20 facing the facing surface 11a of the base portion 11. The first permanent magnet 14 and the second permanent magnet 21 that face each other are in a relationship in which the opposite sides have a negative polarity on one side and a positive pole on the other side, and are attracted to each other by magnetic force.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of an ornamental birdcage P1 as a bird cage, and the above-described perch T is fixedly installed on the birdcage P1. In FIG. 4, a state where the pet bird B is stopped on the horizontal bar portion 13 is shown, but may be stopped on the vertical bar portion 12. As the bird B for pets, for example, various birds bred as pets using a bird cage, such as small birds such as various parakeets, bun butterflies and juvenile pine, and medium-sized birds such as parrots can be used. .

  The ornamental birdcage P1 has an outer shell, for example, a plurality of vertical bars 31 extending in the vertical direction with a small interval therebetween, and a plurality of vertical bars 31 extending in the horizontal direction and connecting the multiple vertical bars 31 to each other. A horizontal bar 32 and a dish-shaped bottom wall member 33 are provided. The birdcage P1 is configured so that a pet bird B housed therein can be viewed from the outside. Of course, the birdcage P1 also has a ceiling (not shown) so that the internal bird B cannot escape from the birdcage P1. The bird B is taken in and out from the bird cage P1 through an opening / closing door (not shown). FIG. 4 shows an example of the birdcage P1, and the structure, shape, and the like can be appropriately selected, and particularly appropriately known in the past.

  The fixed installation of the perch T to the birdcage P1 is performed as follows. First, the main body member 10 is housed in the bird cage P1 through its open / close door (not shown), and the opposed surface 11a of the base portion 11 of the main body member 10 is brought close to the side surface portion of the bird cage P1. On the other hand, the fixing member 20 is approached from the outside of the birdcage P1 so that the facing surface 20a faces the facing surface 11a of the base B11. Due to the approach between the opposing surfaces 11a and 20a, the base part 11 and the fixing member 20 are integrated with each other by the adsorption of the first permanent magnet 14 and the second permanent magnet 21. That is, the main body member 10 is fixed to the bird cage P1 in a state where the side surface portion of the bird cage P1 is sandwiched between the main body member 10 (the base portion 11) and the fixing member 20.

  When the perch T is removed from the birdcage P1, the fixing member 20 is slightly rotated in the facing surface 20a so that the positional relationship between the first permanent magnet 14 and the second permanent magnet B21 is shifted (magnetic force). This can be easily done by peeling off the fixing member 20.

  FIG. 5 shows a bird carrying case P2 as a bird cage. The transport case P <b> 2 includes a box-shaped main body case 40 having an upper opening, and a lid member 41 that covers the upper opening of the main body case 40. The main body case 40 and the lid member 41 are each formed of transparent or translucent plastic.

  A perch T is fixed to the side surface of the transport case P2. The perch T is used in the same way as it is used for the birdcage P1. In FIG. 5, the base portion 11 and the fixing member 20 in the perch T are fixed in a state where a low position of the side surface portion of the main body case 40 is sandwiched. By fixing the main body member 10 at a low position of the main body case 40, the horizontal bar portion 13 can be installed at a low position. Thereby, even when the height of the main body case 40 cannot be secured sufficiently, the bird B can be stored in the main body case 40 in a safe and stable state where the bird B is stopped by the perch T.

  4 and 5 show an example in which the perch T is fixed to the side surface (side wall) of the bird cage (birdcage P1, transport case P2), but it is fixed to the ceiling wall or bottom wall of the bird cage. For example, the first permanent magnet 14 and the second permanent magnet 21 can be fixed at any position as long as they can be fixed (adsorbed) by the magnetic force.

  Since the perch T is extremely easy to attach to and detach from the bird cage, the installation position within the same bird cage or a change between different bird cages (for example, a change between the bird cage P1 and the transport case P2). Is also very easy.

  Here, the pet bird B often has a habit of not easily stopping on a perch other than the familiar perch. For this reason, when the bird B in the birdcage P1 is transported in the transport case P2, it is preferable to use the perch T that is familiar to the user by being installed in the birdcage P1 in advance in the transport case P2. become. Thereby, when the bird B in the birdcage P1 is moved into the transport case P2, the bird B immediately stops on the perch T transferred from the birdcage P1, and the bird B is stabilized and stabilized. It can be conveyed in a state.

  FIG. 6 shows a feeding tool T2, which is used as an accessory to the perch T shown in FIG. This feeding tool T2 has the main-body part 50 and the short holding | maintenance part 51 which protruded in the rod shape 2 each from the left-right side surface of the main-body part 50. As shown in FIG. The main body 50 is formed with a feed recess 50a so as to open on the upper surface thereof. The main body part 50 and the holding part 51 are made of natural wood.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the size of the main body 50 is set such that it can be inserted between the two vertical bar portions 12 in the main body member 10. Then, the feeding tool T <b> 2 is held by the main body member 10 between the two vertical rod portions 12 by hooking the left and right holding portions 51 on the two vertical rod portions 12. For example, the bird B eats the food in the recess 50a in the feeding tool T2 while stopped at the horizontal bar portion 13.

  FIG. 7 shows another example of the feeding tool T3, which is detachably fixed to the bird cage independently of the perch T shown in FIG. That is, the feeding tool T3 is roughly divided into a main body member 60 (corresponding to the main body member 10 in FIG. 1), a fixing member 70 (corresponding to the fixing member 10 in FIG. 1) separate from the main body member 60, and a bait box 80. Have.

  The main body member 60 includes a base portion 61 and a single vertical bar portion 62 that extends from the base portion 61 in an upright state. The bait box 80 is suspended from the vertical bar portion 62 via a string 63.

  The bait box 80 includes a plurality of (four in the embodiment) rod-like connecting portions 83 that connect the corners of the plate-like upper plate portion 81 and lower plate portion 82 and the upper and lower plate portions 81 and 82, respectively. And having.

  Between the upper plate portion 81 and the lower plate portion 82, a hollow bait box portion 84 formed in a substantially spherical shape by, for example, plastic is held. The bait box part 84 can be divided into, for example, two, and bait is introduced into the inside in a state of being divided into two. An opening is formed on the top surface of the bait box 80, while a through hole 81 a that faces this opening is formed in the upper plate portion 81. The bird B eats the food in the bait box part 84 through the through-hole 81a.
