ʻ dpō helehelena keʻokeʻo (Dendrocygna viduata) - no ka ʻohana duck, ke kauoha Anseriformes.
Ke hoʻolaha ʻia ʻana o kahi ʻāpio helehelena keʻokeʻo.
Loaʻa ka ʻāwāwī ʻāwī keʻokeʻo i ka ʻĀpana ʻo Sahara ʻApelika a me ka hapa nui o ʻAmelika Hema. ʻO kēia wahi ʻo Angola, Antigua a me Barbuda, Argentina, Aruba, Barbados, Benin, Bolivia, Botswana, Brazil. A ʻo Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Chad, Colombia hoʻi; Komoro, Kongo, Cote dʻIvoire. Noho kēia ʻano ma Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, ʻAitiopa, Palani Guiana, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana. Loaʻa ma Guadeloupe, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Guyana, Haiti, Kenya. Nā lāhui ma Liberia, Lesotho, Mauritius, Madagascar, Mali, Malawi, Martinique, Mauritania.

Eia kekahi ma Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Sudan, Suriname, Swaziland, Tanzania. Eia hou, ʻo ka mokuna o ka mahele e like me Trinidad, Togo, Uganda, Tobago, Uruguay. ʻO Venezuela, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Cuba, Dominica hoʻi. He hoʻokaʻawale disjunction kēia ʻāpana ma ʻApelika a me ʻAmelika Hema. Aia ke kuhi manaʻo ua hoʻolaha kēia mau ʻūlū i nā wahi noho hou a puni ka honua e nā kānaka.
Nā hōʻailona kūwaho o kahi ʻāpō helehelena keʻokeʻo.
He nuku ʻāhinahina loloa ka ʻāpō keʻokeʻo keʻokeʻo keʻokeʻo, kahi poʻo elongated, a me nā wāwae lōʻihi. Keokeo ka maka a me ka lei aliʻi, ʻeleʻele ke kua o ke poʻo. I kekahi mau kānaka, uhi ka plumage ʻeleʻele i ke poʻo holoʻokoʻa.
ʻIke pinepine ʻia kēia ʻano ma nā ʻāina ʻApelika Komohana e like me Nigeria, kahi e nui ai ka ua a he pōkole ke kau maloʻo. ʻEleʻele ka hope a me nā ʻeheu a ʻeleʻele paha. ʻEleʻele hoʻi ka ʻaoʻao lalo o ke kino, ʻoiai aia he mau kiko keʻokeʻo liʻiliʻi ma nā ʻaoʻao. ʻEleʻele ʻeleʻele ka ʻāʻī. ʻO ke ʻano o ka plumage o kēlā me kēia ʻano wahine ʻokoʻa like. ʻAʻohe manu ʻokoʻa i hōʻike ʻia ma nā poʻo o nā manu ʻōpio.
E hoʻolohe i ka leo o kahi ʻāpō helehelena keʻokeʻo
Leo Dendrocygna viduata
ʻO kahi e noho ai ka ʻāpō helehelena keʻokeʻo.
ʻO nā ʻōpua keʻokeʻo keʻokeʻo e noho nei i nā ʻano wai wai wai hou, e like me nā loko, nā wai kai, nā kahawai o nā kahawai nui, nā waha o nā kahawai wai brackish, nā loko wai, nā kahawai, nā loko iʻa. ʻIke pinepine ʻia ma nā waihona wai me nā kahawai, nā wai wai, nā māla. Makemake lākou i nā wahi wai ma nā wahi ākea, ʻoiai lākou e noho nei i ka wai hou a wai wai paha ma nā wahi ulu lāʻau o ʻAmelika Hema, waiwai i ka silt. Noho lākou i ka pō ma ke kahakai me nā mea kanu e ulu nei. ʻOi aku ka nui o nā duck i kēlā mau wahi i ka manawa ma hope o ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻana i ka molt, ke pono e hūnā no ke kali ʻana i kahi manawa maikaʻi ʻole. Akā ʻo nā ʻāpō ʻāwīwī keʻokeʻo e pūnana i nā wahi wai hou o ka ephemeral. Mai ka pae kai hoʻonui lākou i 1000 mau mika.
ʻO nā pākeke keʻokeʻo keʻokeʻo e hoʻoneʻe i nā neʻe nomadic kūloko ma lalo o 500 km ma muli o nā loli i ka pae wai a me ka loaʻa o ka meaʻai.
Hoʻomaka ka hānau ʻana i ka hoʻomaka o ke kau ua. Hoʻonohonoho kaʻawale nā duck mai nā ʻano ʻē aʻe a i ʻole i nā kolone ākea a i nā hui liʻiliʻi. Kali nā manu makua i ka wā molting ma hope o ka hānau ʻana, kahi lele ʻole no 18-25 mau lā. I loko o kēia manawa, ʻoi aku ka palupalu o nā ʻāiki whistling keokeo a hūnā i nā mea ulu nui i nā wai pulu. Ma hope o ka hopena o ka pūnana ʻana, ʻākoakoa lākou i nā pūʻulu a hiki i kahi mau kaukani mau kānaka a hānai pū. Nui nā manu o nā manu e hōʻea ana i ka wanaʻao ma ka waihona wai e waiho i kahi hiʻohiʻona kupaianaha.
ʻO nā ʻalalā keʻokeʻo keʻokeʻo he mau leo walaʻau i ka lele ʻana, e kani ana nā leo me nā ʻēheu o lākou. Kūmau kēia mau manu, neʻe i ka hilinaʻi i ka nui o ka meaʻai, ka nohona a me ka ua. Koho lākou i nā wahi hānai me nā panakō kiʻekiʻe ma kahi pāpaʻu. Noho mau nā Duck i nā kumulāʻau, neʻe i ka ʻāina, a ʻauʻau paha. ʻEleu lākou i ka wā o ka pō o ke ao a lele i ka pō. Neʻe pinepine lākou i nā pūʻulu me nā ʻano ʻē aʻe o ka ʻohana duck.
Ke ʻai nei i kahi ʻāʻī keʻokeʻo keʻokeʻo.
ʻO ka papaʻai a ka ʻāʻī keʻokeʻo me nā mea kanu lau nahele (barnyard) a me nā ʻanoʻano o nā mea kanu wai, ʻo ka wai līlia Nyphaea.
ʻAi pū nā Duck i nā lau pondweed a me nā kūpuna o nā mea kanu wai, keu hoʻi i ka wā maloʻo.
Hoʻopaʻa ʻia nā invertebrates wai e like me molluscs, crustacean a me nā mea kolo, pinepine i ka wā ua.
ʻAi nui nā ʻāpō i ka pō, ʻoiai i ka hoʻoilo hiki iā lākou ke ʻai pū i ka lā. Hānai lākou ma ke kānana ʻana i nā meaola mai ka wai, a lākou e ʻimi ai i ka hohonu o kekahi mau kenimika i ka lepo lepo a ale koke. Ma ke ʻano he lula, luʻu lākou me ka maʻalahi.
ʻO ka ʻōhumu ʻāpō keʻokeʻo a keʻokeʻo ʻana.
Hoʻonohonoho nā ʻāpana keʻokeʻo keʻokeʻo i ko lākou mau pūnana ma nā wahi like ʻole mai ka wai, maʻamau i nā mea ulu nunui, nā mauʻu kiʻekiʻe, nāhelehele a i ʻole nā laiki, nā lāʻau ʻohe, ma nā lālā o nā kumulāʻau ʻaʻole kiʻekiʻe loa, a me nā lua lāʻau (ʻAmelika Hema). Hiki iā lākou ke pūnana i nā hui pālua, i nā hui liʻiliʻi a i nā kolone ākea kahi i loaʻa ai nā pūnana ma mua o 75 mau mika mai kēlā me kēia (ʻApelika). ʻO ke ʻano o ka pūnana e like me ke kīʻaha a hana ʻia e ka mauʻu. I ka paʻa mai 6 a 12 mau hua, hoʻouka ʻia ka hoʻouluulu e nā mākua ʻelua, mau lā he 26 - 30 mau lā. Puka mai nā Chicks i uhi ʻia me ka malu ʻoliva uliuli o ka fluff me nā kiko melemele. ʻO ke kāne a me ka wahine ke alakaʻi i ka pua no ʻelua mau mahina.
Hoʻoweliweli i ka nui o ka ʻāpō keʻokeʻo ʻiʻo ʻia.
Hiki ke ʻike ʻia nā ʻāʻī keʻokeʻo keʻokeʻo i ka botulism avian a me ka maʻi lele avian, no laila e makaʻu paha ka laha i nā laha hou o kēia mau maʻi. Hoʻohui, ʻimi ka lehulehu i nā ʻalalā a kūʻai aku i kēia mau manu. ʻO ke kālepa ʻana i nā ʻāʻī keʻokeʻo keʻokeʻo ke hoʻomohala ʻia ma Malawi. Ke holomua nei ka ʻimi ʻana i kēia mau manu ma Botswana.
Kūʻai ʻia lākou i nā mākeke lāʻau lapaʻau kuʻuna. ʻO nā pākeke keʻokeʻo keʻokeʻo kahi ʻano i hiki ke mālama ʻia i loko o nā ʻaelike o ka ʻaelike manu manu ʻōiwi Afro-Eurasia.
