Kika HolaDendrocygna bicolor) ola ka hapanui ma nā wahi ʻino ma ʻAmelika, ʻAmelika a me ʻAmelika Hema. Ma ke koho ʻana o nā biotopes, hōʻike ʻia kēia mau ducks i ka palupalu hoʻonaninani, ke koho ʻana i nā wai ʻona wai ākea loa i loaʻa i ka pāpū: nā loko, nā muliwai, nā hoʻomaʻemaʻe liʻiliʻi e hoʻomaloʻo i nā punawai, punawai, nā wai kanu. ʻO ka hapa pinepine, ʻo ka ʻeleʻī ʻulaʻula ʻulaʻula e noho ana ma nā wahi i ulu maikaʻi ʻia nā mea kanu maikaʻi, hiki ke ʻike ʻia lākou i ka mahiʻai i nā kīhāpai.
ʻAno hānau
ʻO ka ʻūhā o kēia mau duck he kahua paona me ka ʻauamo, uhi ʻia hoʻi i nā lāʻau o nā mea kanu e piʻi mai ana i ka wai - kahe, ka pōpoki, nā ʻūhā, ka laiki, nā lilia. I kēia hihia, hana pinepine ka nūnū me ka leʻaleʻa ʻole. ʻOi aku pinepine ʻole ia, koho ʻo ia i nā hollows lāʻau i hōʻike ʻia i nā ʻano lāʻau ʻē aʻe he nui. ʻO ka waiho piha ʻana he 12-14 mau huaʻai, hiki i ka incubation ma kahi o 24-26 mau lā. ʻO nā manu ʻelua o ka pālua i hoʻohālikelike ʻia, kahi ʻokoʻa ma waena o nā poki. Haʻalele nā ʻōpio ʻano hānai i ka moena ma hope koke o ka hānau ʻana a pee i ko lākou mau mākua, huna mai ka poʻe ʻōpala i loko o ka mauʻu kahe. Hoʻokahi ke kāne a me ka wahine i ka ʻōpio, a hiki i nā moa ma luna o ka ʻēheu (loaʻa kēia ma kahi o 63-65 mau lā).
Mea ʻai
ʻAi i ka pōpoki pālolo i nā pōpoki wai a me nā ʻōkō wai: kānana ka manu i nā ʻaoʻao o luna o ka wai, e hoʻowalewale i ke poʻo i loko a i ʻole e hōʻuluʻulu i ka ʻaoʻao o luna o ke kino. Eia kekahi, e pōloli maikaʻi lākou, e waiho ana ma lalo o ka wai a hiki i ka 15 kekona. ʻO ka hapa nui o ka meaʻai o ka pāʻīʻī kaiāulu, ʻo ia ka mea kanu kai, ʻai nui i nā hua a me nā hua o nā mea kanu a me nā mea kanu, e like me ka highlander a me ka ʻala momona, makemake nui e hānai i nā māla wai i hoʻōki ʻia, kahi mea e hoʻopili pinepine ʻia ai i nā hui nui. Hoʻomaʻo nā kaole manu i nā ʻōpala a me nā rhizomes, ʻōpala, nā pua o nā ʻohe, timothy, a me nā mea kanu pau ʻole.
ʻO keʻano
Pāʻolo lāʻau ʻōpiopio, ʻo ka lōʻihi 45-53 cm, kaupaona nā kāne 621-75 g, kaupaona nā wahine 631-77 g. ʻO ka keʻokeʻo - lōʻihi, ʻāʻī a me nā wāwae lōʻihi - ua like ia me kahi kui nui aʻe ma mua o ka pā keu. ʻO kekahi hiʻohiʻona hiʻona e hoʻokaʻawale i nā kumulāʻau lāʻau āpau, e komo pū me ka ʻulaʻula, ʻo kona mau ʻēheu ākea a puni a me ka laulā, no ka mea i huli aʻe ka lele i kahi lohi a hohonu, e like me nā ʻano manu. ʻO kahi like pū me nā mea hope i ka lewa e hoʻohālikelike ʻia ai hoʻi i nā ʻāʻī elongated a me nā wāwae e piʻo ana i waho o ka lihi o ka huelo. E like me nā ʻano pēpē he ʻē aʻe, ke mālama ʻia nā kuhi ʻulaʻula ulaula i nā pōpoki, eia naʻe, ʻaʻole like me nā poʻe ʻē aʻe, ʻaʻohe like ia i ka hopena like ʻole i ka lele. He pale pākaha ke poʻo, ua pōkole ka huelo.
E like me ke ʻano o ka inoa, hoʻomālamalama ʻia ka plumage e kahi ʻulaʻulaʻula, a i ʻole ka ʻulaʻulaʻula, i loaʻa iā ia ma ke poʻo, ka ʻāʻī, ka umauma, ka ʻōpū a me nā ʻaoʻao. ʻAʻohe ʻano hiʻohiʻona ma luna o nā ʻulaʻula i nā papa inoa i ke kino, me ka ʻokoʻa ʻole o ka ʻāʻī ʻīwī liʻuliʻu, ma luna he mau polula ʻeleʻele. ʻO ka lōʻihi aku o nā hulu o ka ʻaoʻao o nā ʻaoʻao a me ka paʻa i ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo-keʻokeʻo me nā hoʻopau ʻona. ʻO ke kua a me nā flywheels he ʻeleʻeleʻeleʻele me kahi hiʻohiʻona tan tan. ʻEleʻele nā wāwae, ʻehā nei nā wāwae. ʻAʻole like nā ʻokoʻa a nā kāne a me nā wahine a pau i kekahi, koe wale nō ka mea ʻuʻuku a paʻi i loko o nā kala ʻoniʻi. ʻAʻohe ʻōpiopio ʻokoʻa nā manu ʻōpio me nā pākeke.
Mālama
ʻO ka mahele kahi o nā ʻāpana ʻāpana i loko o ka Old and New Worlds. Ma ʻAmelika ʻAmelika, e noho ana ʻo ʻAmelika Hema - Florida, Texas a me Louisiana, a ma Mexico hoʻi i ka hema i nā mokuʻāina o Oaxaca a me Tabasco. A paʻa i kēia manawa, ʻike ʻia ka The Antilles Nui. Aia ma ʻAmelika Hema, ʻelua mau wahi noho o ka māhele: kahi i kū i ka ʻaoʻao ʻākau o ka ʻElepika mai Colombia ma ka hikina Guyana, kahi ʻē ma waena o Brazil mai ka hema a hiki i ʻArainia kēpana o Tucuman a me Brazil ka moku o Buenos Aires. ʻO ka māhele o ka mahele no Aferika ma ka ʻaoʻao hema o Sahara: he ʻaki ʻeke mai Senegal ma ke hikina a ʻAitiopa, ma ka ʻaoʻao hema i loko o ka Botswana Lake Ngami a me ka ʻaoʻao o ka ʻApelika Hema o KwaZulu-Natal. Eia kekahi, he maʻamau ka ʻupena i Hawaiʻi. ʻO ka hope loa, uhi nā wahi o Asia i India a me Myanmar.
Ua manaʻo ʻia he mau mea noho ʻano maikaʻi ʻole ia. Aia ma Afrika, hele mai nā malihini i hele ʻole ma muli o ka maloʻo ʻana o ke kino wai a i ka hōʻemi ʻana o nā lako meaʻai. Ma muli o ka manaʻo o ka pīpī hiki ke hoʻākoakoa ma ka wahi hoʻokahi i ka manawa hoʻokahi a me ka nui nui, ʻōlelo ʻia kēlā Kākoʻo ʻia kēia ʻepekema e ka waiho ʻole ʻana o ka ʻano hoʻololi like ʻole me ka laulā nui a ʻāʻī nui. Aia nā mokulele Random i ʻike ʻia ma Kanada, ke komohana ʻehā o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, Hawaii, Morocco, Sepania, southern France a Nepal. Manu lele nā manu ma India i Sri Lanka.
Hoʻaiho
Ma ke koho ʻana o nā biotopes, hōʻike ʻia nā kaila ʻokoʻa loa, ka koho ʻana i nā kaola wai launa nui loa e waiho ana ma ka pāpū: nā loko, nā muliwai, nā mea liʻiliʻi, e hoʻomaloʻo ana i nā wai kō, nā māpuna, nā mea kanu. ʻO ka pinepine loa, noho ia i nā wahi i hoʻomohala maikaʻi ʻia nā lau palala kiʻekiʻe. I ka manawa pinepine, hiki ke ʻike i ka pāka i nā kula lae.
