Uliuli ka hulu uhi o ka ʻeheu, pouli nā hulu o ka huelo. ʻEleʻele hoʻi ka mea i lalo
ʻAʻole ʻokoʻa ka nui o nā geese ʻōpio mai ka poʻe mākua i ka waihoʻoluʻu o ko lākou hulu, akā ʻoi aku ka dimmer o kā lākou plumage.

Kahi noho o ke kuihi Hawaiʻi
Noho ke gose Hawaiʻi ma nā pali lua pele o kekahi mau mauna o ko Hawaiʻi Pae ʻĀina, ma waena o 1525 a me 2440 mau mika ma luna o ka ʻilikai. Mahalo nui ʻo ia i nā pali i piha i nā lau nahele. ʻIke pū ʻia i nā nāhelehele, nā kula a me nā kuahiwi kahakai. Hoihoi loa ka manu i nā wahi kanaka i hoʻohuli ʻia e like me nā wahi hānai a me nā papa kolepa. ʻO kekahi poʻe e neʻe i waena o kā lākou wahi pūnana i hoʻonohonoho ʻia ma nā wahi haʻahaʻa a me kā lākou mau kahua hānai, aia ma ke kuahiwi maʻamau.
Hoʻolahalaha ʻia nā koʻo Hawaiʻi
ʻO ka Goose Hawaiʻi kekahi ʻano laha o ka pae ʻāina ʻo Hawaiʻi. Hoʻolahalaha ʻia ma ka mokupuni ma ka pali nui o Mauna Loa, Hualalai a me Mauna Kea, akā ma nā helu liʻiliʻi hoʻi ma ka mokupuni ʻo Maui, ua hoʻolauna pū ʻia kēia ʻano ma ka mokupuni ʻo Molok.
Nā hiʻohiʻona o ke ʻano o ke kuihi Hawaiʻi
Noho nā geese Hawaiʻi i loko o nā ʻohana i ka hapa nui o ka makahiki. Mai Iune a Kepakemapa, hui pū nā manu e hoʻolilo i ka hoʻoilo. I Kepakemapa, i ka wā e hoʻomākaukau ai nā pālua e pūnana, haʻihaʻi nā hipa.
ʻO kēia ʻano manu he monogamous ia. Hana ʻia ka male ma ka honua. Koho ka wahine i kahi no ka pūnana. ʻO nā geese Hawaiʻi he manu noho maʻa mau. Hoʻokomo ʻia ko lākou manamana lima me nā membrane i hoʻomohala ʻole ʻole ʻia, no laila hoʻololi ʻia nā lālā i ko lākou nohona ʻāina a kōkua i ka ʻimi ʻana i nā meaʻai mea kanu ma waena o nā pōhaku a me nā luaipele. E like me ka nui o nā ʻano o ke kauoha, ʻo Anseriformes i ka wā molting, ʻaʻole hiki i nā geese Hawaiʻi ke piʻi i ka ʻēheu, no ka mea ua hoʻomaikaʻi hou ʻia ka uhi hulu, no laila peʻe lākou i nā wahi mehameha.
Gose Pepelu Hawaii
Hoʻokumu nā geese Hawaiʻi i mau paʻa paʻa. Kūpilikiʻi ka nohona male. Hoʻopiʻi ke kāne i ka wahine ma ka hoʻohuli ʻana i kona nuku iā ia a hōʻike i nā keʻokeʻo o ka huelo. Ke pio ka wahine, hōʻike nā hoa ʻelua i kahi huakaʻi lanakila, kahi e alakaʻi ai ke kāne i ka wahine mai kāna mau hoa paio. Ukali ʻia ka parade demonstration e kahi hana maʻa mau a kahi mau hoa aloha e aloha aku ai kekahi i kekahi me ke kūlou ʻana o ko lākou mau poʻo i ka honua. Hāpai nā manu manu ʻelua i nā leo kūoʻo, ʻoiai ka wahine e kīpiʻi i kona mau ʻeheu, a me nā kāne e lele ana, e hōʻike ana i nā ʻōpala male.
ʻO ka wā hānau hānau mai ʻAukake a ʻApelila, ʻo kēia ka manawa hānau maikaʻi loa no nā geese Hawaiʻi. Eia nō naʻe, pūnana kekahi poʻe mai ʻOkakopa a hiki i Pepeluali i waenakonu o ka pele. Aia ka pūnana ma ka honua i ka nahele. ʻEli ka wahine i kahi lua liʻiliʻi i ka lepo, hūnā ʻia i waena o nā mea kanu. ʻO Clutch he 1 a 5 mau hua.
- ma Hawaii - he awelika o 3;
- ma Maui - 4.
Hoʻokomo wale ka wahine i 29 a 32 mau lā. Aia ke kāne ma kahi kokoke i ka pūnana a hāʻawi i kahi wati kiaʻi ma luna o ka pūnaewele pūnana. Hiki i ka wahine ke haʻalele i ka pūnana, e waiho ana i nā hua no 4 mau hola i ka lā, i kahi manawa e hānai ai a hoʻomaha ai.
Noho mau ʻo Chicks i ka pūnana no ka manawa lōʻihi, uhi ʻia me ke kukui lahilahi i lalo. Kūʻokoʻa koke lākou a hiki ke kiʻi i ka meaʻai. Eia nō naʻe, ʻaʻole hiki i nā geese ʻōpio Hawaiʻi ke lele a hiki i kahi o 3 mau makahiki o ka makahiki, e hiki ai iā lākou ke maʻalahi i ka poʻe hōkū. Noho lākou i ka hui ʻohana a hiki i ke kau aʻe.
Mea ʻai kikī kuʻi Hawaiʻi
ʻO nā geese Hawaiʻi nā mea ʻai maoli a hānai nui i nā meaʻai mea kanu, akā hopu lākou i nā larva a me nā ʻelala pū me ia. Hū kēlā i waena o nā mea kanu Hōʻiliʻili nā manu i nā meaʻai ma ka honua a hoʻokahi wale nō. ʻAi lākou, ʻai i ka mauʻu, lau, pua, hua a me nā ʻanoʻano.
Ke kūlana mālama o nā gose Hawaiʻi
Ua lehulehu loa nā geese Hawaiʻi. Ma mua o ka hōʻea ʻana o ka huakaʻi a Kuke, ma ka hopena o ke kenekulia ʻumikūmāwalu, ua ʻoi aku ko lākou helu ma mua o 25,000. Ua hoʻohana nā kamaʻāina i nā manu ma ke ʻano he kumu meaʻai a ua ʻimi lākou, a loaʻa ka aneane hoʻopau piha loa.
I ka makahiki 1907, ua kapu loa ka ʻimi ʻana i nā geese Hawaiʻi. Akā i ka makahiki 1940, ua nui ka mānoanoa o ke ʻano o nā laha ma muli o ka predation o nā māmela, ka deterioration o ka wahi a me ka extermination pololei e nā kānaka. Ua kōkua ʻia kēia hana e ka luku ʻia ʻana o nā pūnana no ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana i nā hua manu, nā hoʻokuʻi ʻana me nā pā a me nā kaʻa, ka nāwaliwali o nā manu makua i ka wā molting ke hoʻouka ʻia lākou e mongoose, puaʻa, ʻiole a me nā holoholona i hoʻolauna ʻia. ʻAneʻane kokoke i pau ka make ʻana o nā geese Hawaiʻi i ka makahiki 1950.
ʻO ka mea pōmaikaʻi, ua ʻike ka poʻe loea i ke ʻano o nā laha laha ʻole i ke kūlohelohe a hana lākou i nā hana e hoʻohua i nā geese Hawaiʻi i ka hoʻopaʻa pio a pale aku i nā wahi pūnana. No laila, i ka makahiki 1949, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka pūʻulu manu mua i ko lākou wahi maoli, akā ʻaʻole kūleʻa nui kēia papahana. Ma kahi o ka 1000 mau kānaka i hoʻihoʻi ʻia mai i Hawaii a me Maui.
ʻO nā ana i lawe ʻia i ka manawa kūpono i hiki ai ke mālama i nā lālani ʻaneʻane make.
I ka manawa like, ke make mau nei nā geese Hawaiʻi mai ka poʻe hōkai, ʻo ka pōʻino nui loa i ka lehulehu o nā manu laha ʻole ʻia e mongoose, ka mea e luku i nā hua manu i ko lākou mau pūnana. No laila, paʻa ʻole ke kūlana, ʻoiai pale ʻia kēia ʻano e ke kānāwai. Aia nā geese Hawaiʻi ma ka IUCN Red List a ua helu ʻia ma ka papa inoa pekelala o nā ʻano manuahi i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. He ʻano laha ʻole i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma CITES Appendix I.
