ʻOluʻolu nā hana o ke kūlohelohe. ʻO kekahi o kēia mau mea kūikawā ka Spoonbill - kahi manu nona nā kiʻi i pāhola ma ka pūnaewele. ʻO kēia ʻano manu he lunamakaʻāinana o ka ʻohana ibis. He ʻano ʻē ka helehelena o ka manu: he ʻoluʻolu ke kala a me kahi nuku kaka ʻole e hōʻike i ke ʻano kū hoʻokahi o ka manu, e like me he ʻaeto nui lā.
Wehewehe
ʻO kahi hiʻohiʻona a kahaha loa hoʻi o ka helehelena o ka manu, kahi mea maʻalahi e hoʻokaʻawale iā ia mai nā ʻano manu ʻē aʻe, ʻo ka nuku. Lōʻihi a pālahalaha ia i lalo. No laila, hoʻohālikelike ʻia me ka tong iʻa. ʻO kēia ʻokana wale nō ke "kuleana" no ka ʻimi a me ka unuhi ʻana o ka meaʻai, ʻoiai aia nā mea loaʻa ma luna.
Aia kahi puʻu liʻiliʻi ma ke kua o ke poʻo o ka manu, e like me ke ʻano o ka lauoho lauoho. Keʻokeʻo ka plumage me ke aniani melemele keʻokeʻo ma ke kumu o ka ʻāʻī.
Kahi noho
ʻIke pinepine ʻia ka Spoonbill i nā wahi pāhona a me nā subtropical, a me nā wahi mehana hapa o ka honua. Hiki ke kuhikuhi ākea ʻia ka laulā o ka hāʻawi manu ʻana e nā wahi aʻe: mai Central a i ʻEulopa Komohana i nā palena o Kina a me Korea. Uhi ka pae i nā ʻaoʻao hema o India a me kekahi mau ʻāpana o ʻApelika. Inā kū ka manu ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻākau, neʻe ia no ka hoʻoilo i nā wahi hema.
He aha ka mea e ʻai ai
Koho pinepine ʻo Spoonbill i nā holoholona liʻiliʻi i hiki ke loaʻa i ka wā e ʻai ai. Penei ka hana ʻimi holoholona: hāmama nā manu i ko lākou nuku a pani kokoke iā ia, e like me nā neʻe o ka scythe. Ma waho aʻe o nā mea kolo, shrimp, crayfish liʻiliʻi a me nā iʻa, nā rana, nā moʻo a me nā moʻo kūpono kekahi. Inā ʻaʻole loaʻa ka meaʻai maʻamau, e ʻai ka spoonbill i nā greens muliwai.
ʻIkepili Hoihoi
Ma waho aʻe o kona ʻano hoihoi, he nui nā ʻike e pili ana i ka puna:
- ʻAʻole kani nā manu.
- ʻAʻole noho kaʻawale nā kānaka - ma nā kolone wale nō.
- Hiki ke kiʻekiʻe o ka pūnana manu i 30 knm.
- ʻO ka lōʻihi o ke ola o nā lunamaka o nā laha he 16 mau makahiki.
