Walkway and walkway system for an aviary

Abstract

The present embodiments provide an aviary, a walkway for an aviary, and a walkway system for an aviary. The walkway includes a ramp and at least one support disposed below the ramp.

What is claimed: 
     
         1 . A walkway for an aviary, the walkway comprising:
 a ramp, having a ramp surface, and having a ramp positioning member extending below the ramp; and   at least one support coupled to the aviary and disposed below the ramp to position the ramp surface at an angle less than vertical, wherein the at least one support is configured to fix the ramp from horizontal movement;   wherein the ramp positioning member is configured to couple with the at least one support and further wherein the ramp positioning member allows uncoupling of the ramp with respect to the at least one support by movement of the ramp in a vertical direction when the ramp surface is positioned at an angle less than vertical.   
     
     
         2 . The walkway of  claim 1 , wherein the ramp positioning member is a lip extending from a bottom side of the ramp. 
     
     
         3 . The walkway of  claim 2 , wherein the at least one support includes a support positioning member, wherein the support positioning member is a slot configured to receive the lip. 
     
     
         4 . The walkway of  claim 1 , wherein the ramp positioning member is disposed on a first side of the ramp. 
     
     
         5 . The walkway of  claim 4 , wherein the at least one support includes a second ramp positioning member disposed on a second side of the ramp. 
     
     
         6 . The walkway of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one support comprises a plurality of supports each disposed below the ramp and further wherein each of the plurality of supports includes a support positioning member. 
     
     
         7 . The walkway of  claim 1 , wherein the ramp is solid. 
     
     
         8 . The walkway of  claim 7 , wherein the ramp has an upper surface, and further wherein said upper surface is configured with ridges and valleys. 
     
     
         9 . The walkway of  claim 7 , wherein the ramp is configured to create air turbulence. 
     
     
         10 . The walkway of  claim 7 , wherein the ramp is metal.
