Manu wai liʻiliʻi (ma kahi o 34 cm), ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o kahi grebe liʻiliʻi.
Ka wehewehe o ka hiʻohiʻona o ka toadstool ʻāʻī ʻeleʻele
Leka ka ʻāʻī, ʻūlū iki ka nuku loloa a lahilahi i luna, pōkole nā wāwae me nā manamana wāwae lobed a me ka huelo vestigial. Nā maka ʻulaʻula. Kino ʻeleʻele luna o ke kino, poʻo, ʻāʻī. ʻO ka'ōpū ʻalani a ʻulaʻula paha a me nā ʻaoʻao. ʻĀpana anal fluffy keʻokeʻo. Nā hulu melemele ma nā pāpālina, ma hope o nā maka. ʻO kahi plumage hoʻoilo ʻokoʻa loa: kua ʻeleʻele, ʻāʻī a me ke poʻo. ʻO ka puʻu hina hina, nā ʻaoʻao a me ka ʻōpū. Papalina keʻokeʻo.
Ma hea e noho ai ka toadstool
Hāʻawi ka manu i ka makemake i nā wai kahakai. Liʻiliʻi i ka nui, nā loko iʻa kūmau, liʻiliʻi, hāmama a me ka nui o nā mea kanu i ʻike ʻia, hoʻohana ka ʻāʻī ʻeleʻele ʻāʻī no ka hana hou. I ka hoʻoilo, kipa pinepine ʻo ia i nā loko, nā kahawai muliwai a me ke kahakai.
Noho ka hina ʻāʻī ʻeleʻele i nā kaiāulu i nā kolone hiki ke lilo i mea nui i ke kauwela, a noho mau i nā hui liʻiliʻi akā pili pono i ka hoʻoilo. Loaʻa nā kolone i nā pūʻulu hānau o nā manu manu ʻē aʻe, ʻo ia hoʻi nā gull a me nā terns. I loko o ia mau kaiāulu, loaʻa i nā grebes kahi palekana kūpono ʻole mai nā mea hōkai mai ko lākou mau hoalauna akahele a hakakā hoʻi.
Pehea e ola ai kahi toadstool ʻāʻī ʻeleʻele?
Kūkulu ka ʻano i nā pūnana lana e waiho ana he 2 a 5 mau hua. Hāpai nā mākua i nā moa ma ko lākou kua i nā lā mua o ko lākou ola.
ʻAi kēia manu i nā mea kanu o ke kai, nā iʻa liʻiliʻi, nā larva amphibian, molluscs a me nā iʻa liʻiliʻi. ʻAi ka ʻāʻī ʻāʻī ʻeleʻele me ka luʻu ʻole, ʻaʻole e hoʻohaʻahaʻa i kona poʻo a me kona ʻāʻī e ʻimi i nā mea pio i ka wai pāpaʻu, ʻaʻole hoʻi e neʻe i kona nuku i loko o ka wai. ʻAi ʻo ia i ka iʻa i ʻoi aku ma mua o ka nui o nā lāhui ʻē aʻe a hānai nui i nā mea kolo.
Ke luʻu ka ʻeleʻele ʻāʻī ʻeleʻele i loko o ka wai, luʻu loa ia mai ka wahi luʻu.
Liʻiliʻi kēia manu, pāpaʻu, noho ʻia e nā ʻano loko ʻokoʻa me nā mea kanu kiʻekiʻe, a hiki ke hana koke i kēlā mau wahi, no ka laʻana, ma muli o ke kahawai.
