Ua nalowale paha ʻoe i ka wānana a me ka wānana, ʻo wai ka holoholona o kēia au ka lōʻihi o ka hiʻu o ka honua? ʻAʻole pono ʻoe e noʻonoʻo he primata kēia, nā mea kolo a me nā mea ʻai. He ʻano ʻē paha kēia iā ʻoe, akā naʻe. ʻo ka huelo loihi loa i ka honua nā manu. A ʻaʻole e like me nā peacock haʻaheo, akā nā manu kūloko, me ka paʻakikī ʻole e noʻonoʻo i kahi home i kēia lā. No ka huelo loloa - nā moa, Laha Onagadori (unuhi ʻia mai ka ʻōlelo Kepanī - "moa me kahi huelo lōʻihi").
ʻO Onagodari
He ʻano moa e noho ana i Iāpana. Ma ʻaneʻi ua hoʻolaha ʻia kēia mau manu he ʻano "heiau lāhui". ʻO nā mea i kapa ʻia ʻo phoenixes, pāpā ʻia lākou e kūʻai aku ma ka makeke, ʻoi aku ka make o ka make no ka meaʻai. ʻO ka mea nāna i haki ka pāpā e kū i mua o ka nui o ka uku. ʻAe ʻia nā manu e hāʻawi a hoʻololi paha iā lākou. Ulu ka lōʻihi o ko lākou huelo i kēlā me kēia makahiki ma kahi o kanaiwa kenimika. ʻOiai he onagodari ʻōpio kahi huelo i hiki ke piʻi i ʻumi mau mika ka lōʻihi.
Kaha ʻia ka huelo lōʻihi loa hoʻokahi moa i hala 17 mau makahiki... Ke ulu mau nei kona huelo: i kēia manawa ua hōʻea i 13 mau mika.
Loaʻa iā lākou ka onagodari i nā hīnaʻi i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma ka pou, i ke kiʻekiʻe o ʻelua mau mika a me ka laulā ʻoi aku ma mua o iwakālua kenimika, i ʻae ai i ka huelo o ka phoenix e kau manuahi i lalo. Ua hoʻonele ʻia ka manu i ka manawa kūpono e neʻe manuahi i kona ola, ke ʻole, ʻaʻohe mea nui a nani ʻole o kona hiʻu. ʻO kēia ʻano mōhai a kēia mau manu e hana ai no ko lākou nani.
Astrapia
ʻO kekahi, he manu ʻo paradaiso, i hoʻokomo ʻia i ka mahele "huelo lōʻihi". ʻO Habitat - nā ululāʻau mauna o Nūkini. He huelo kāna, a ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi o kona i 3 mau manawa i ka lōʻihi o kona kino. ʻO nā hulu manuahi, nunui, keʻokeʻo i hoʻopili ʻia keʻokeʻo ma kahi o hoʻokahi mika ka lōʻihi, a laila e ʻōwili nei i ka astrapia holoʻokoʻa, ʻoiai ka lōʻihi o 32 cm wale nō.
ʻOiaʻiʻo ka astrapia nani i ka holoholona lōhiu ʻo ka nānā loa loa, i ʻike mua ʻia e nā ʻepekema a hoʻopaʻa ʻia i ka hoʻomaka o ke kenekulia iwakālua (1938). ʻO kāna huelo lōʻihi i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo he mea keakea nui i ko lākou ola i kēlā me kēia lā (pili wale kēia i ka astrapia kāne). No laila, lilo pinepine lākou i mea hihia i nā mea kanu. Hāʻawi pū nā hulu i ka paleki, ʻaʻole ia ka hopena maikaʻi ma ka lele ʻana.
Mīkini Hoʻopiha
Noho i ka nahele-steppe a me nā steppe maloʻo o New Guinea, ma ka ʻāina nui Australia. E like me nā moʻo ʻē aʻe, hiki i ka moʻo momona ke hoʻololi i kona kala mai ka melemele-ʻeleʻele i ka eleele-ʻeleʻele, a me nā aka ʻē aʻe. ʻO kēia wale nō ka moʻo i lōʻihi loa kona huelo. ʻO kāna huelo ʻelua hapakolu o ka lōʻihi o kona kino holoʻokoʻa... ʻO ka moʻo momona ponoʻī ka mea nona nā lālā ikaika loa a me nā māiʻuʻu ʻoi. Lōʻihi huelo moʻo hiki i 80 kenimika.
