ʻO ka Amazon ʻaoʻao polū (Amazona estiva) no ka ʻoka ʻo Parrots.
Hoʻolahalaha o ka ʻaoʻao ʻalani polū.
Ua hoʻopuehu ʻia ʻo ʻAmona mau maka ʻōmaʻomaʻo ma nā ʻāina ʻo Amazonia o ʻAmelika Hema. Loaʻa pinepine lākou i nā wahi nui o ka hikina hikina o Brazil. Noho lākou i nā ululāʻau o Bolivia, ʻAkau ʻAnelani, Paraguay. Hele lākou ma kekahi mau wahi o ka hema o ʻAtenaina. Ke emi nei ko lākou helu ma muli o ka nāhelehele a me nā hopu pinepine ʻana no ke kūʻai aku.
ʻO ka wahi noho o ka ʻaoʻao ʻalani uliuli.
Noho ʻo ʻAmona ʻaoʻao polū i waena o nā kumulāʻau. Noho ʻo Parrots i nā savannas, nā ululāʻau kahakai, nā kula a me nā kahawai. Makemake lākou i nā pūnaewele pūnana i nā wahi huikau a hāmama nui. I nā wahi mauna i loaʻa i ke kiʻekiʻe o 887 mau mika.
Nā hōʻailona kūwaho o kahi Amazon polū maka.
He lōʻihi ke kino o nā ʻĀmona ʻĀkau 35-51.5 cm. ʻO ka ʻēheu he 20.5-22.5 knm. ʻO ka lōʻihi o ka huelo i 13 knm. ʻO kēia mau ʻoka nui nunui he 400-520 gram. ʻO ka plumage he ʻōmaʻomaʻo hohonu. Loaʻa nā hulu polū mālamalama ma ke poʻo. Hoʻomoe nā plumage melemele i ka maka, aia nā pale like ma ke kihi o ko lākou poʻohiwi. ʻO ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana o nā hulu melemele a me nā polū he pākahi no kēlā me kēia, akā kū i waho nā māka ʻulaʻula i nā ʻeheu. Nui ka nuku mai 3.0 knm a 3.3 cm, ka hapanui ʻeleʻele i ke kala.
He ʻulaʻula a ʻulaʻula ka Iris. Aia kekahi apo keʻokeʻo a puni nā maka. Hoʻohanohano ʻia nā ʻōpio ʻAmelona e nā aka hinuhulu o ka plumage a me nā irise ʻeleʻele.
ʻO nā ʻAmona ʻaoʻao polū nā manu me nā waihoʻoluʻu monomorphic plumage i nā kāne a me nā wahine. ʻAʻole liʻiliʻi nā hulu melemele i nā wahine. ʻAʻole ʻike ka hihi kanaka i nā kala i ka laulā ultraviolet (UV) kokoke. A ʻo ka maka o ka manu he ākea ākea o nā waihoʻoluʻu waihoʻoluʻu ma mua o ka maka o ke kanaka. No laila, i nā kukuna ultraviolet, ʻokoʻa ke kala o ka plumage o nā kāne a me nā wahine.
Aia he 2 mau ʻāpana o nā ʻālina: ʻo Amazon i ʻāpana ʻia ka melemele-ʻāpana (Amazona estiva xanthopteryx) a me Amazona estiva estiva (nā inoa inoa inoa).
ʻO ka hana hou ʻana o ka Amazon polū.
He monogamous nā ʻAmona helehelena polū a noho pālua ʻia, akā pili mau nā ʻāko me ka ʻohana holoʻokoʻa. I ka wā hānau, mālama pū nā kāne ma ka noho pō ʻana a me ka hānai ʻana. ʻAʻole piha ka ʻike e pili ana i ke ʻano hānau o nā ʻoka.
ʻO ka wā hānau no nā ʻAmona helehelena polū mau mai ʻAukake a Sepatemaba.
ʻAʻole hiki i nā ʻAmona ʻeleʻele ke hana i nā hakahaka i loko o nā kumu lāʻau, no laila noho lākou i nā lua i hoʻomākaukau ʻia. Hoʻokomo pinepine lākou i nā kumulāʻau o nā ʻano like ʻole me ka lei aliʻi i hoʻomohala ʻia. Aia ka hapa nui o nā pūnaewele i nā wahi hāmama e kokoke ana i nā kumu wai. I kēia manawa, hoʻomoe nā wahine i nā hua he 1 a 6, ma ka maʻamau he ʻelua a ʻekolu paha mau hua. Hoʻokahi wale nō paʻa i kēlā me kēia kau. Hoʻokomo ʻia ka hoʻouluulu i loko o 30 mau lā. Hina nā moa ma waena o Kepakemapa a ʻOkakopa. Kaupaona lākou ma waena o 12 a 22 gram. Pono nā keikikāne i ka mālama mau a me ka hānai ʻana; hānai ʻia lākou e nā manu makua e ʻū ana i ka meaʻai hapa hapa. Haʻalele nā ʻōpio ʻōpio i ka pūnana i Nowemapa-Kekemapa, ma kahi o 56 mau lā o ko lākou makahiki. He 9 mau pule ka lōʻihi o ke kūʻokoʻa ʻana o lākou. Hiki i nā kāne a me nā wahine ke oʻo makua i ka wā o 2 a 4 mau makahiki. Noho ʻo ʻAmona ʻeleʻele maka i ka noho pio ʻana a hiki i 70 mau makahiki.
ʻO ka lawena o kahi Amazon polū maka.
ʻO nā ʻAmona helehelena polū he monogamous ia, nā manu kaiapili e mālama i nā hipa i ka makahiki holoʻokoʻa. ʻAʻole lākou he manu neʻe, akā hana kekahi i kahi neʻe kūloko i nā wahi me ka waiwai nui o ka meaʻai.
ʻAi nā ʻōlapa i nā hipa ma waho o ka wā hoʻoulu, a me ka hoa i ka wā hānau.
Alakaʻi lākou i ka nohona diurnal, hiamoe pū ma lalo o nā kalaunu o nā kumulāʻau a kakahiaka, a laila hele lākou e ʻimi i ka meaʻai. Hoʻololi ka waihoʻoluʻu o nā ʻAmona polū-alo, aneane e hui pū me nā wahi a puni. No laila, nā manu, hiki ke ʻike wale ʻia nā manu e kā lākou leo uē. No ka hānai ʻana, koi nā ʻākoʻo i kahi ʻāpana nui aʻe ma mua o kā lākou wahi e hoʻomoana ai i ka wā hānau. ʻO kā lākou pae hāʻawi e pili ana i ka nui o nā meaʻai.
I loko o ka repertoire o nā ʻAmona helehelena polū, ʻeiwa mau ʻano leo ʻokoʻa i hoʻokaʻawale ʻia, i hoʻohana ʻia i nā hanana like ʻole, i ka wā o ka hānai ʻana, i ka lele ʻana, a i ka wā o ke kamaʻilio.
E like me nā ʻAmona ʻē aʻe, ʻo nā kakaka ʻaoʻao polū e kiaʻi pono i kā lākou plumage. Pā pinepine lākou kekahi i kekahi me ko lākou nuku, e hōʻike ana i ke aloha.
ʻO ka ʻai ʻana o Amazon ma mua o ka polū.
ʻAno nui nā ʻAmona helehelena polū i nā hua, nā hua, nā hua, nā ʻōpuʻu, nā lau a me nā pua o nā mea kanu ʻōiwi mai Amazon. ʻIʻike ākea lākou ʻo nā mea kanu i nā mea kanu, keu hoʻi i nā hua citrus. Ke hatch ʻole nā manu ʻio, noho lākou i ka pō i nā hipa a pau i mea e hānai pū ai i ke kakahiaka a hoʻi wale i ke awakea. I ka wā hānau, hānai pālua nā manu. Hoʻohana lākou i ko lākou mau wāwae e ʻohiʻohi i nā hua, a hoʻohana i ko lākou nuku a me ko lākou alelo e huki i nā ʻanoʻano a i ʻole nā hua mai nā pūpū.
ʻO ke kuleana o ke kaiaolaola o nā ʻAmona polū.
Hoʻopau nā ʻAmona i mua o ka Blue i nā ʻanoʻano, nā hua hua, nā hua o nā mea kanu. I ka wā o ka hānai ʻana, komo lākou i ka hoʻolaha ʻana o nā ʻanoʻano ma ka hoʻoneʻe ʻana a me ka lawe ʻana i nā ʻanoʻano i nā wahi ʻē aʻe.
He manaʻo no ke kanaka.
Hoʻopaʻa mau ʻia nā ʻAmona polū i mua i ka nāhelehele a hoʻopau i nā mākeke kālepa kūloko a kūwaho hoʻi. ʻO kēia ʻāpana o ka ʻūlū Amazonian ka manu manuʻi makamae kūʻai nui ʻia e ka poʻe Guaraní ma Bolivia. Lawe kēia ʻoihana i loaʻa kālā maikaʻi i ka heluna kanaka kūloko. Pono ka lawaiʻa ʻana i ka hōʻemi ʻana i ka helu o nā ʻAmona polū alo i ke ʻano. Hoʻopau nā mea ʻino ʻokoʻa i nā manu e hiamoe ana i nā lei aliʻi. Aia kekahi ʻikepili e ʻimi nā falcon, nā pueo, nā ʻio i nā ʻano peʻahi he nui i ka Amazon.
Mālama pū ʻia hoʻi nā ʻAmona polū i mua e like me ka moa, a hoʻohana ʻia kekahi o ia mau mea e huki ai i nā ʻāhiu ʻāhiu i paʻa.
ʻO kēia ʻano ʻAmona, e like me nā ʻoka ʻē aʻe o Amazonian, he pest ia e luku i nā mea kanu mahiʻai. Hoʻokomo nā ʻAmona i mua i nā lāʻau citrus a me nā hua hua i mahi ʻia i nā hipa. Hoʻopau wale nā mea mahiʻai he nui i nā manu e mālama i ka hua.
Ke kūlana mālama o ka Amazon ʻāpana polū.
Ua helu ʻia ka Amazon ʻāpana polū ma ke ʻano Least Concern ma ka IUCN Red List ma muli o ka nui o nā wahi a me nā helu kūpono o kēlā me kēia. Eia nō naʻe, ke emi mau nei ka nui o nā ʻoka, i hiki ai ke hōʻoia i ke kau ʻana i ka mahele "palupalu" i ka wā e hiki mai ana. ʻO ka hoʻoweliweli nui i ka noho ʻana o nā ʻAmona ʻeleʻele polū ka hōʻino ʻana o ka nohona. Mālama wale kēia ʻano manu i nā lāʻau kahiko me nā lua. ʻO ke kālai lāʻau ʻana a me ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana o nā kumu hollow e hōʻemi ai i nā pūnaewele pūnana kūpono. Pale ʻia nā ʻāʻā polu e CITES II a hoʻoponopono nā lula e kū nei i ka hopu a me ke kālepa ʻana o kēia mau manu.
