Abstract: An ice molding apparatus includes a first mold assembly which includes a first hollow chamber portion and which includes a spike assembly which projects inward from a wall of the first hollow chamber portion. The spike assembly includes a distal end adapted to support a quantity of solid material. The first mold assembly includes a first joint member adapted to connect to a second mold assembly. The second mold assembly includes a second hollow chamber portion which includes a filler channel adapted for passing a quantity of liquid water therethrough into the second hollow chamber portion and to fill up the first hollow chamber portion with water. The second mold assembly includes a second joint member adapted to connect to the first joint member, such that the first hollow chamber portion and the second hollow chamber portion form a combined interior mold chamber. The distal end of the spike assembly is located adjacent to a center portion of the combined interior mold chamber.

Abstract: A bird perch apparatus includes a floor base assembly, and a pole assembly is connected to the floor base assembly. A ceiling-contacting assembly is connected to the pole assembly. A lower pan assembly is supported by the pole assembly. An upper pan assembly is supported by the pole assembly a predetermined distance above the lower pan assembly, and a perch assembly is connected to the pole assembly at a position along the pole assembly between the lower pan assembly and the upper pan assembly. The lower pan assembly is circular and includes a central aperture for receiving the pole assembly. The upper pan assembly is circular and includes a central aperture for receiving the pole assembly. A cage assembly is supported by the lower pan assembly and is capped by the upper pan assembly. The pole assembly includes a first adjustable portion and a second adjustable portion which are adjustable longitudinally with respect to each other.
