ʻO ka Amazon melemele mua (Amazona ochrocephala) a i ʻole ka ʻāpana kalaunu melemele nā ka ʻoka ʻo Parrots.
Hoʻolaha o ka Amazon melemele-ʻaoʻao.
Hoʻolahalaha ka Amazon melemele-alo mai waena o Mexico a waena o ʻAmelika Hema. Noho ʻia ka Basin Amazonian Hema, aia ma ka hikina ʻo Andes. Noho ia i nā nahele o Peru, Trinidad, Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, Guiana, a me nā mokupuni ʻē aʻe o Caribbean. Hoʻokomo ʻia kēia ʻano i Kaleponi Hema a me South Florida. Aia nā lehulehu kūloko ma ka ʻākau komohana o ʻAmelika Hema a me Panama.
ʻO ka wahi noho o ka Amazon melemele-alo.
ʻIke ʻia ka Amazon melemele ʻē aʻe i nā ʻano wahi like ʻole mai ke kula pulu a me nā ululāʻau i nā ululāʻau ululāʻau a me nā lāʻau kiʻekiʻe. Loaʻa pū ia i nā ulu lāʻau pine a me nā wahi mahiʻai. He manu ʻāina haʻahaʻa ʻo ia, akā ma kekahi mau wahi e piʻi ana ia i kahi kiʻekiʻe he 800 mau mika ma nā kaʻe hikina o ka ʻAnad. Noho pū ka Amazon melemele ʻaoʻao ma mangroves, savannas, a i loko o nā hale kauwela.
E hoʻolohe i ka leo o ka Amazon melemele-ʻaoʻao.
Nā hōʻailona kūwaho o kahi Amazon melemele-ʻaoʻao.
ʻO ka Amazon ma mua o ka melemele he 33 a 38 cm ka lōʻihi, e pili ana i kāna huelo pōkole pōkole, a kaupaona iā 403 a i 562 gram. E like me ka nui o ka ʻAmona, ʻōmaʻomaʻo ka hulu. Aia nā māka kala i nā wahi o ke kino. Hiki ke ʻike ʻia nā māka melemele ma ke poʻo o ke poʻo, frenulum (kahi ma waena o nā maka a me ka nuku), ma nā ʻūhā, a i kekahi manawa a puni nā maka. Hoʻololi ka nui o ka melemele ma ke poʻo, i kekahi manawa me kahi hulu manuahi wale nō e pili ana i nā maka.
Akā aia kekahi mau mea i melemele ka hapa nui o ke poʻo, ʻo ia ke kumu i ʻike ʻia ai ka inoa - ka ʻāʻī kalaunu. Kupanaha nā ʻeheu me nā kala like ʻole a hōʻike i nā hulu violet-polū nani ma nā hulu kula lua. Aia kēia kala viola polū viola ma nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo a me nā punaewele o waho. ʻIke ʻia nā māka ʻulaʻula i ka pelu o ka ʻēheu, ʻoiai ʻikea nā māka ʻōmaʻomaʻo melemele i nā kihi. ʻIke pinepine nā māka ʻulaʻula a me ka uliuli i ka ʻike ʻana ke noho ana ka ʻoka ma luna o ka lālā.
He kumu ʻōmaʻomaʻo ʻōmaʻomaʻo ka huelo huinahā me nā hulu ʻulaʻula. ʻO ka nuku he hina māmā, hina hina a ʻeleʻele, me nā hulu melemele e ʻike ʻia ma luna pono o ka nuku.
ʻEleʻele ka wax a me nā lauoho a puni nā puka ihu. Hinahina nā pā. ʻO nā papalina a me nā uhi pepeiao (nā hulu e uhi ana i nā puka pepeiao) ʻōmaʻomaʻo. ʻO nā maka me nā alani ʻalani. Aia nā apo keʻokeʻo a puni nā maka.
Nānā like nā kāne a me nā wahine. ʻO nā ʻāʻī ʻōmaʻomaʻo ʻē aʻe i like me nā aka o ka plumage e like me ka poʻe mākua, akā ʻoi aku ka haʻahaʻa o nā kala, a ʻaʻole koʻikoʻi nā māka melemele, koe wale nō ke kaulahao a me ka lei aliʻi. Loaʻa i nā manu ʻōpio nā plumage melemele a ʻulaʻula.
ʻO ka hana hou ʻana o ka Amazon ʻaoʻao melemele.
He manu monogamous nā ʻAmelona alo ʻohana. Hōʻike lākou i nā ʻano hana maʻalahi no ka hoʻonāukiuki ʻana i nā hoa: kūlou, hoʻohaʻahaʻa i ko lākou mau ʻeheu, hoʻoluliluli i ko lākou hulu, hoʻoluliluli i ko lākou huelo, hāpai i ko lākou mau wāwae, a hoʻonui i nā haumāna o ko lākou mau maka. Ke pūnana ʻana, kūkulu kekahi mau pālua i nā pūnana kokoke kekahi i kekahi.
ʻO ka wā hānau no nā ʻAmona ʻaoʻao melemele alo ʻia i Kekemapa a mau a hiki i Mei. I kēia manawa, moe lākou i 2 i 4 mau hua me ka hoʻomaha o 2 lā.
No ke kūkulu ʻana i kahi pūnana, koho nā manu i kahi lua kūpono kūpono. Keʻokeʻo nā hua manu, māka ʻole me ka elliptical i ke ʻano. Hoʻokahi wale nō paʻa i kēlā me kēia kau. Hoʻokomo ʻia ka hoʻouluulu ma kahi o 25 mau lā. I kēia manawa, noho ke kāne kokoke i ka puka komo pūnana a hānai i ka wahine. Ma hope o ka ʻikea ʻana o nā moa, noho ka wahine me lākou kokoke i ka lā holoʻokoʻa, i kekahi manawa hoʻomaha no ka hānai ʻana. I kekahi mau lā ma hope, hoʻomaka ke kāne e lawe i ka meaʻai i ka pūnana e hānai i nā ʻoka ʻōpio, ʻoiai ʻoi aku ka pili o ka wahine i ka hānai ʻana i nā keiki.
Ma hope o 56 mau lā, haʻalele nā ʻōpio i ka pūnana. Kūʻokoʻa nā ʻōpio ʻōpio ma hope o 2 mau mahina. Hiki iā lākou ke hana i nā keiki ma kahi o 3 mau makahiki.
ʻO nā ʻAmona ʻAmelike-alo, e like me ka nui o nā ʻoka nui, ola i kahi manawa lōʻihi loa. I ke pio ʻana, hiki i nā ʻoka nui ke ola a 56-100 mau makahiki. ʻAʻole ʻike ʻia ka ʻike e pili ana i ka lōʻihi o nā ʻAmelona alo melemele i ke ʻano.
ʻO ka lawena o kahi Amazon melemele-alo.
He manu pili kaiaulu ʻo ʻAmelona i mua. Noho lākou a neʻe i nā wahi ʻē aʻe e ʻimi wale i ka meaʻai. I ka pō, ma waho o ka wā hānau, nā manu ʻaka melemele i mua i nā ʻohana hipa nui. I ka lā, hānai lākou i nā hui liʻiliʻi o 8 a 10. I ka wā o kā lākou hānai ʻana, hana maʻamau lākou me ka mālie. He lele maikaʻi lākou a hiki ke lele i kahi mamao. He mau ʻeheu liʻiliʻi ko lākou, no laila ke lele nei ka lele, me ka heʻe ʻole. I ka wā o ka male ʻana, hana ke ʻano melemele-alo melemele e like me nā manu monogamous, a hana paʻa paʻa.
ʻO nā ʻAmona ʻAmelike-alo kahi manu i ʻike ʻia no kā lākou antics kolohe a me ka mākau kamaʻilio, a ʻo ka hapa nui o lākou he maikaʻi loa i ka hoʻohālike ʻana i nā huaʻōlelo. Hoʻomaʻamaʻa maʻalahi ʻia a hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻia lākou, hana nui i ke kaiapuni, no laila i ke pio ʻana, lele mau lākou a neʻe i loko o ka pā.
Kaulana nā ʻAmelona alo ʻeleʻele i waena o nā ʻoka no ko lākou leo nui, kani lākou, kani, hoʻokuʻu i kahi wili hao a me kahi kani lōʻihi. E like me nā ʻoka ʻē aʻe, loaʻa iā lākou kahi repertoire paʻakikī a maʻalahi hoʻi e hāʻawi iā lākou i ka hiki ke hoʻohālike i ka ʻōlelo kanaka.
Kaʻai pono o ka Amazon melemele.
ʻAi nā ʻAmona ʻAmelika i mua i nā ʻano meaʻai like ʻole. ʻAi lākou i nā hua, nā lau, nā hua, nā hua, nā pua, a me nā ʻōpuʻu lau. Hoʻohana nā ʻoka i ko lākou mau wāwae e hoʻoponopono i nā nati a huki i nā kernels e hoʻohana ana i ko lākou nuku a me ko lākou alelo. ʻAi ʻo ʻAmelona i mua i ka melemele i ke kulina a me nā hua o nā mea kanu i mahi ʻia.
ʻO ke kuleana kaiaolaola o ka Amazon melemele-alo.
ʻAi nā ʻAmona ʻaoʻao melemele i nā hua, nā hua, nā hua a me nā hua, a he mea nui ia no ka hoʻolaha ʻana o nā ʻano mea kanu.
He manaʻo no ke kanaka.
Hiki i nā ʻAmona ʻeleʻele alo ke hiki ke hoʻohālikelike i ka ʻōlelo kanaka. Ma muli o kēia koina, makemake nui ʻia lākou e like me nā moa. Hoʻohana ʻia ka hulu ʻuliko i nā mea e hoʻonani ai i ka lole. ʻO ka hopu pio ʻole ʻia ʻana o nā ʻAmelona alo melemele no ke kūʻai aku ke kumu nui o ka emi ʻana o nā helu i ke kūlohelohe. Ma muli o ka predation o nā moʻo e ʻai i nā moa a me nā wahine, a me ka ʻino ʻana i ka poʻe, loaʻa i kēia mau ʻelele he hapa haʻahaʻa loa o ka hānau hou ʻana (10-14%).
Hoʻomaopopo nā Ornithologists i ka Amazon melemele-alo ma ke ʻano he mea ecotourism hoihoi. I kekahi mau wahi mahiʻai, hoʻopōʻino nā ʻAmona i mua i ka melemele a me nā hua hua ma ka hao wale ʻana iā lākou.
ʻO ke kūlana mālama o ka Amazon melemele-ʻaoʻao.
ʻO nā ʻAmona ʻaoʻao melemele i maʻa mau i ka hapa nui o kā lākou pae. Noho lākou i nā wahi pale he nui kahi e mālama ai nā hana mālama. Hoʻokaʻawale ʻia kēia mau manu ma ke ʻano he mea liʻiliʻi loa ma ka IUCN Red List. A e like me nā ʻoka ʻē aʻe, helu ʻia lākou i CITES Appendix II. ʻOiai ke emi nei nā heluna o nā ʻAmelona alo melemele, ʻaʻole lākou i kokoke kokoke e ʻike i ka mokuʻāina o nā laha e hoʻoweliweli ʻia.
