Aia ʻo Hawks i waena o nā manu lele e like me nā manu lele a me nā pueo. ʻO nā ʻohana pili loa o nā hawks, ʻo ia nā ʻaeto, nā vulture, buzzards, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe. ʻO ka huina he kanahā mau ʻano ʻano hawks. Noho lākou kokoke i nā wahi a pau o ka honua. ʻEwalu wale nō ʻano ʻano hānau ma ʻEulopa. ʻO nā falcons Peregrine, nā falcons lāʻau, a me nā kestrels i hānau ma Kelemānia a me Switzerland. Ma Auseturia, hānau pū ka saker falcon. Hiki ka peregrine falcon i kona māmā kiʻekiʻe loa i ka luʻu ʻana: 350 km/h. ʻEkolu manawa ʻoi aku ka wikiwiki ma mua o ka cheetah ma ka Honua.
ʻIke maʻalahi nā Hawks mai waho ma ko lākou nuku: ʻo ka ʻaoʻao o luna e kūlou i lalo e like me ka makau. Maikaʻi loa lākou i ka pepehi ʻana i kā lākou mea pio. Ua hūnā ʻia kekahi hiʻohiʻona ʻē aʻe ma lalo o ka hulu: he 15 mau ʻāʻī o ka ʻāʻī o ka hawks, ʻoi aku ma mua o nā manu ʻē aʻe. ʻAe kēia iā lākou e huli pono i ko lākou poʻo e ʻike i kā lākou mea pio. Eia hou, hiki i nā hawks ke ʻike maikaʻi me ko lākou mau maka ʻoi.
Ua hoihoi mau ke kanaka i ka falcons. Eia kekahi laʻana, i waena o ko ʻAigupita kahiko, ʻo ka falcon kahi hōʻailona o ka pharaoh, ke aliʻi. ʻOiai i kēia lā, ʻo ka falconer kekahi mea nāna e aʻo i ka falcon e hoʻolohe a hahai iā ia. He pāʻani ʻo Falconry no nā aliʻi waiwai.
Pehea e ola ai nā hawks?
Hiki i nā Hawks ke lele maikaʻi, akā pono lākou e hoʻopā i ko lākou mau ʻēheu. ʻAʻole hiki iā lākou ke lele i ka lewa e like me nā ʻaeto. Mai ka lewa mai, lele lākou ma luna o nā mammals liʻiliʻi, nā mea kolo, nā amphibians, a me nā pepeke nui, akā ma luna o nā manu ʻē aʻe. Ke nānā nei lākou i ka mea pio mai kahi kupapaʻu a lele paha.
ʻAʻole hana nā Hawks i nā pūnana. Waiho lākou i kā lākou mau hua i loko o ka pūnana kaawale o kekahi ʻano manu. Eia nō naʻe, ʻoluʻolu kekahi mau ʻano falcon i kahi lua i ka maka pōhaku a i ʻole hale. ʻO ka hapa nui o nā hawks wahine e waiho ana ma kahi o ʻekolu a ʻehā mau hua, a lākou e hoʻomoe ai no ʻelima pule. Eia nō naʻe, pili kēia i nā ʻano hawks.
ʻAʻole hiki ke ʻōlelo ʻia inā he manu lele nā falcons a i ʻole e noho mau ana ma kahi hoʻokahi. Hiki i ke kestrel wale nō ke noho hoʻokahi ma kahi hoʻokahi a i ʻole e neʻe i ka hema i ka hoʻoilo. ʻO ka mea nui e pili ana i ka nui o nā meaʻai meaʻai e loaʻa iā lākou.
Ma muli o ke ʻano o nā ʻano ʻano, pili ʻia nā hawks a hoʻoweliweli ʻia paha e pau. ʻAʻohe ʻenemi o nā falcons makua. Eia nō naʻe, hoʻokūkū ka pueo me lākou i kekahi manawa no ko lākou wahi pūnana a pepehi pū kekahi iā lākou. Eia naʻe, ʻo ko lākou ʻenemi nui ke kanaka: hoʻoweliweli ka poʻe piʻi i nā wahi pūnana, a hōʻiliʻili nā mea ʻawaʻawa i ka mahiʻai. ʻAi ka ʻauwa i kēia mau mea ʻawaʻawa me lākou. ʻO kēia ka mea e wiwi a pohā ka ʻili hua, a i ʻole e ulu pono nā ʻōhua. ʻO ka poʻe kālepa holoholona hoʻi e hao i nā pūnana a kūʻai aku i nā manu ʻōpiopio.
