Abstract

A daytime animal feeder includes a storage housing with a wall arrangement and at least one openable door coupled to the wall arrangement. The feeder further includes an actuator mechanism configured to move the at least one openable door between a closed position and an open position to allow a desirable, preferred animal to access feed located within the storage housing. The feeder further includes a control system configured to control operation of the actuator mechanism to open and close the at least one openable door when predefined conditions are met or manually activated by a user. The daytime animal feeder includes a number of components and features that are purposely designed to interact and provide improved daytime feeder performance including, but not limited to, preventing (i) unscheduled, uncontrolled feeding, (ii) water and/or moisture from penetrating or migrating into the storage housing and damaging the animal feed therein, even when the at least one door is in either the closed position or the open position, and (iii) an undesirable, un-preferred animal from breaching the housing to gain access to the feed therein.
