On the streets of many Russian cities, there are many stray dogs and cats running around that need regular nutrition and care. Some compassionate residents feed these animals, preventing them from starving to death. There are folk craftsmen who have learned to create automatic feeders that are programmed to pour out food when animals arrive or at a certain time. In any case, human intervention is minimized.
Instructions
Step 1
Today, an automatic dog feeder is used by some owners who do not want to get up early in the morning to feed their hungry pet. To make a feeder, first of all find out what kind of animal it will be intended for. After all, feeders for pigeons and for dogs will differ significantly from each other. In case you are going to make a pigeon feeder, find a suitable tree or post for this. The automatic feeder should be located at such a height that neither person nor animal can reach it. Choose durable and moisture resistant wood species for the trough.
Step 2
Find on the Internet or design your own scheme according to which you will assemble the feeder. All details must be cut with millimeter precision, otherwise the feeder will turn out to be ugly and unsuitable for birds. Make the electronic filling of the feeder so that it is programmed for tactile sensations from the legs and beak of the pigeon. That is, as soon as the pigeon flew in and stood on the porch of the feeder, food should immediately spill out. Some people program the feeders for a specific time. You should not do this, since you do not know when the bird will arrive.
Step 3
The automatic cat feeder is also popular. The standard layout of such a device includes a plastic container, a steel case on which it rotates, and an electronic element that is responsible for rotating and pouring food into a cat dish. In order to make such a feeder, buy a small plastic cylindrical vessel, a high-strength steel body and an electric motor that will rotate the vessel. Design the electronic system on the basis of an alarm clock with a clock so that you can specify a specific time at which the feed will be poured out. Create such a feeder for your pet.
