ʻO ka hapa nui o ka ʻai ʻana i ka manu kalao i kūkulu ʻia i nā hua o nā lāʻau ulu lāʻau. ʻOi aku ka makemake o nā hua puaa no ka mea loaʻa nā fiku i kahi nui o ke kō a he maʻalahi ka ʻike i ka makahiki.
ʻO ka nui o nā rhhinoceros o India, ʻoiai ka nui o kona nui, ka lele maoli mai ka lālā i ke lālā ma nā lei aliʻi o nā kumulāʻau a pōmaikaʻi ka hua i kāna hua. Kohi ʻia nā manu kalriona ma ka ʻōpū. Eia kekahi, hiki i nā manu o kēia ʻano ke ʻohi i nā hua ma ka lele, hoʻolei iā lākou i ka lewa, hopu iā lākou me nā pā ākea ākea a hoʻopau iā lākou. Hoʻonui ʻo Kalao i nā hua o ka lāʻau, kahi i loaʻa i ka waiwai strychnine.
MEA LOA
E noho ana ʻo Kalao mai Wakinekona a i ka hikina a hiki i Thailand, a i ke kūkulu hema - ma loko o ka Penina Malay, Sumatra. Noho nā ʻōhule Hornbill i nā lei o nā lāʻau ulu lāʻau. ʻO kā lākou wahi punahele ka poʻe o nā lāʻau evergreen, kahi a lākou e loaʻa ai ka ʻai nui i ka makahiki āpau.
I ka huli ʻana i ka mea ʻai, ua lele nā rhino nui ma waena o nā kumulāʻau. Hiki iā ʻoe ke nānā pinepine i kēia mau manu e lele wāwae a i ʻole nā ʻohana liʻiliʻi ma luna o ka ulu lāʻau. Hiki iā Calao ke kamaʻilio pū me kekahi me ke kōkua o nā leo kani - nā ʻū a wili. ʻO ia ke kumu he hiki ʻole ke hele ma mua o ka lāʻau me ka ʻike ʻole ʻana i kēia mau manu. I ka lele, ua like nā kalao me nā ʻēheu puni e like me ka ʻāʻī.
Hoʻopōla
ʻAʻole kū ʻia ka manawa huna o Kalao no kekahi kau wā kūikawā. ʻAno ʻōpiopio nā manu i ka wā e maloʻo ai ka lepo ma ka ulu lāʻau, ʻo ia hoʻi ke kūpono ia no ke kūkulu ʻana i kahi pūnana. ʻO ka maʻamau, hāʻule kēia manawa ma waena o Ianuali a me ʻApelila. Kala ʻo Kalao kahi hānai no ka nano, aia ma kahi kiʻekiʻe o 18 a 25 mm mai ka lepo aku. Ke koho nei i kahi kūpono kūpono no ka hano, hoʻomaka ka wahine e ālai i ka puka. Hana ʻo ia i kēia me ke ʻole o ke kōkua o ke kāne. Hōʻike wale ke kāne iā ia me nā mea hana hale: ka pulupulu o nā hua, nā lāʻau kumu a me nā lālā. ʻO kēia manu āpau e hoʻopaʻa ʻia e nā ʻōpala. ʻO ka maloʻo, ua hoʻohuli ʻia ka waiwai i hoʻokumu ʻia i loko o ka pā "konukima" kino. Ke hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ka lua, ʻāwīwī maila ka wahine i loko o ke ana a huki iā ia iho mai loko. Ua waiho wale ʻo ia i kahi lua liʻiliʻi e hānai aku ai ke kāne iā ia, a ʻo ka wahine ka mea hoʻomalu wale.
Hoʻonohonoho mau ka makuahine i ka manawa āpau e hoʻopili a hānai i nā moa. Eia paha, e waiho ana ka wahine i nā hua moa 2, ʻo ka ulu ʻana o kahi e like me hoʻokahi mahina. I kekahi manawa hoʻokahi nā pipi ʻoki. Lawe ka kāne i ka meaʻai i ka wahine a me nā mania nāna i paʻi mai nā hua.
I ka pau ʻana o ka manawa hana, lilo ʻo ia i ʻ oi loa. ʻElua a ʻekolu mau malama ma hope o ka huki ʻana o nā moa, ua haki ka wahine i ka "pā" a, hui pū me nā moa, waiho i ka "hopena". Ma hope o kēia, aʻo ka ʻōpiopio kalao e lele.
KUPONO NA INOA HUI, KAHAKUI.
- Ke keʻokeʻo nā hua manu, akā naʻe, hoʻololi lohi lākou i ko lākou kala a huli i ke kala. Hoʻina kēia ma lalo o ka mana o nā koena o ka lāʻau a me ka lāʻau.
- ʻO ka nahu a ka wahine a me nā moa i kiola aku ai i waho o ka nīnū, aia i nā hua kanu mea kanu i kanu ʻia ma lalo o ka kumulāʻau. Hiki i ka poʻe ʻōiwi ke hoʻoholo i ka makahiki o ka moa i ka nui o nā mea kanu a koho i ka manawa maikaʻi loa no ka lawe ʻana i nā kalao ʻōpio mai ka ʻōpū. Hoʻokomo ʻia nā moa i loko o nā lima o nā mea kūʻai holoholona.
- Hoʻololi nā wahine wahine i ka plumage i ke ʻano o ka "hopena" i ka hollow. Pau ka pule i ka hebedoma. I kēia manawa, hoʻololi nā hulu āpau ma nā ʻēheu a me ka huelo.
KA MEA KANAO O KALAO. NA PALAPALA HOOPII
Lipi: ua lele nui nei ka manu me kona mau ʻēheu nui, aʻo nā ʻēheu e hoʻokani leo ana. I ke lele, ʻike ʻia nā ʻōpū keʻokeʻo ma luna o nā ʻēheu.
Lūlā: aka ʻeleʻele a ʻeleʻele hoʻi ka ʻāʻī a me ke keʻokeʻo a ʻalani paha a ʻalani paha. Ma ka huelo kahi e pale ai ke kaula ʻeleʻele. Ke keʻokeʻo nā ʻōpū ma luna o nā ʻēheu.
Kāne: iā ia kekahi mau maka kūikawā me kahi ʻulaʻula ulaula a me kahi kihi piha ʻeleʻele loa. ʻEleʻele nā poʻo o nā pepeiao ʻelua.
Helmet: he puka nui kēia ma luna o ka kumu o ka beak. I loko o nā'āpana pōkole, no laila ka māmā. Hoʻonui ʻia ia i nā leo a ka manu e hana ai.
Wahine: ʻaʻole e like me ke kāne, ʻo ka iris kona keʻokeʻo he keʻokeʻo, a puni kona maka he ʻūlili o ka ʻili o ka ʻili o ka ʻiʻo.
