ʻO kahi manu liʻiliʻi i ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o ka starling, makemake ʻo ia e peʻe i nā mānoanoa a nocturnal, he kahu hipa wai ia mai ka ʻohana kahu hipa. ʻAʻole ia he mea makehewa ka makemake o ka manu e hōʻike ʻole iā ia iho - ma hope o nā mea āpau, ʻoi aku ka kūpono o ka ʻike ʻana iā ia ma ka Red Book ma mua o ke kūlohelohe.
Wehewehe
E pili ana i ka hoʻolālā kino, like nā kahu hānai me nā quail a i ʻole nā ʻāpana - ʻaʻole kahi manu nui a maʻemaʻe e pili ana i 26 cm ka lōʻihi a ke kaupaona nei ma lalo iki o 200 gram. ʻO kona kino disproportionate a pālahalaha ma hope e like me ka palaoa kānana - akā, ʻaʻole like me ia, he nuku lōʻihi a pelu ke kahuhipa.
He ʻano kūikawā ko kēia manu, ʻokoʻa ʻokoʻa kona ʻano mai nā manu wai ʻē aʻe, e uē - he ʻano ʻano like me ka ʻūlū puaʻa. ʻO ka hana leo, e like me ke ola pōʻai, pili nui ʻia me ka manawa pō.
Helehelena
ʻAʻole ʻokoʻa ka plumage o ke kahu hipa i ka ʻōlinolino, akā ʻumeʻume i ka nānā me kāna ʻano. ʻO ka hana nui i ka hiʻohiʻona o ka manu e hoʻokani ʻia e ka nuku: lahilahi, lōʻihi, ʻaneʻane like ka nui me ke poʻo - maʻamau ke kala me ka leo ʻulaʻula a ʻalani paha. ʻO ke koena o ka plumage he kila-hina, a ma nā ʻaoʻao he mau kaha hina hina ʻāpana. Ma ke kua a me nā ʻeheu, hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i nā hulu ʻoliva-brown me nā kaha ʻeleʻele ākea. Pōkole, palupalu ka huelo o ka manu - a ʻaʻole kū i ka ʻulululi ke neʻe. ʻO nā wāwae ʻulaʻula-ʻeleʻele, lahilahi e pili ana i ke kino, kōkua i ke ʻano dandy o ke kahuhipa.
He mea hoihoi ka mea nui a kokoke i ka ʻokoʻa ma waena o nā wahine a me nā kāne o kēia ʻano ke nui aku ka nui o nā kāne ma mua o kā lākou mau hoa.
ʻO ka awelika ke ola o kēia mau manu he mea kupaianaha no kēia nui - ola lākou i ka awelika a ʻeiwa mau makahiki. Eia kekahi, ʻo ka momona o kēia ʻano e ʻae iā ʻoe e hana i nā paʻa lima i kēlā me kēia kau.
Kahi noho
Noho ka kahuhipa ma aneane o nā ʻāina āpau - ma ʻEulopa, a ma ʻAsia, a ma ʻAmelika, a ma ʻApelika - i nā wahi like ʻole, akā i nā mea liʻiliʻi loa. A hiki i kēia manawa, hoʻopaʻapaʻa ka ʻepekema e pili ana i ka noho ʻana o kēia ʻano manu ma India - kūʻēʻē ka ʻikepili e pili ana i ka hoʻolaha ʻana.
E pili ana i nā wahi noho, makemake ka kahu hipa e noho ma nā kapa wai o ke kino, koho i nā stagnant loa, nāhe i nā wai a me nā kahawai: mahalo i kēia, hiki lākou i nā ʻohe, nā ʻohe a me nā mea kanu ʻē aʻe. ʻO ia ke kū ʻana o ka greenery kokoke i ka wai ma ke ʻano he mea nui no ka pūnana ʻana a me kahi wai pāpaʻu wale no ka loaʻa ʻana o ka meaʻai i hiki ke kapa ʻia nā pae nui no ke koho ʻana i kahi nohona no kahi manu.
A ʻo ka mea hoihoi loa inā nō i kū pono ka ʻāina i nā pono āpau, ʻaʻole ia he manaʻo iki ma aneʻi e noho ka lehulehu - ʻaʻole hiki i ka ʻepekema ke loaʻa kahi wehewehe no kēia.
Meaʻai
Hānai ka hānai hānai i nā mea kolo liʻiliʻi, larvae, molluscs a me nā invertebrates ʻē aʻe. ʻAʻole ia e haʻalele i nā mea kanu wai, a me nā amphibians liʻiliʻi a me nā iʻa. ʻIke ʻia ka mea pio i loko o kahi waihona wai: ma luna, ma lalo, ma kahakai.
ʻOiai ʻo ke keikikāne kahu hānai i ke ao i loko o ka mauʻu mauʻu a ʻaʻole ʻike pinepine ʻia i nā ākea, ʻaʻole ʻo ia e lele - holo ʻoi aku ʻo ia, wikiwiki a wikiwiki hoʻi.
Eia kekahi, piʻi aʻe kahi manu i ka lewa wale nō inā weliweli loa - a ʻoiai ʻaʻole i ʻoi aku ke kiʻekiʻe ma mua o kahi mika (ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole e noʻonoʻo i ka manawa o ka neʻe ʻana). I nā hihia koʻikoʻi, hiki iā ia ke ʻauʻau a luʻu pū kekahi.
I ko lākou nui, noho wale nā kahu hānai wai, ma ka nui i nā pālua. ʻO kēia ma muli o ko lākou ʻano kūpikipiki, eia nō naʻe, i kekahi manawa aia kekahi mau hihia ke hana nā manu i nā pūʻulu hoʻohanohano a hiki i kanakolu poʻe: akā ʻo kēlā mau hui e haki wikiwiki loa.
