He aha ke ʻano o ka heron poni?
No nā herons ka poni. He lōʻihi loa ko lākou wāwae, he ʻāʻī lōʻihi, he nuku lōʻihi, he huelo pōkole. ʻO ko lākou kūlana kū pololei i maopopo ʻole iā lākou. ʻAʻole like me nā ʻaka a me nā cranes, huki mau lākou i ko lākou mau poʻo a me nā ʻāʻī i ka wā e lele ai. Ke ulu nei nā herons poni i ka lōʻihi o 78-90 kenimika a no laila ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi ma mua o nā herons hina pili pili. He 120-150 kenimika ko lākou mau ʻēheu.
He ʻeleʻele ʻeleʻele ko lākou hulu, ʻulaʻula-ʻulaʻula ka ʻāʻī, a he ʻeleʻele kū pololei kona. He ʻeleʻele ka hulu ma luna o ke poʻo a ma lalo o ka huelo. I ka wā male, ʻaʻahu lākou i ka hulu manu ma ke kua o ko lākou mau poʻo. He melemele ka nuku kiko, lōʻihi a me nā wāwae lahilahi. Hoʻokomo ʻia ka hulu ʻulaʻula ʻulaʻula o nā herons ʻōpio poni. Hiki i ʻelima mau makahiki ke kala ʻia e like me ko lākou mau mākua.
Ma hea kahi e noho ai ka heron poni?
Noho ʻo Purple Heron ma ʻEulopa Waena, a puni ke Kai Mediterranean, a ma ʻApelika ʻĀkau. Ma ka hikina, hoʻonui ʻia ko lākou ākea mai Czech Republic a me Hungary ma waena o ka Hikina kokoke i Indonesia. Ma nā ʻāina ʻoluʻolu a me ka ʻoluʻolu e like me mākou, ʻo nā herons poni nā manu lele: Holo lākou i ka hema a me ke komohana hema ma luna o ka equator i Kepakemapa.
E like me nā herons a pau, pono nā herons poni i kahi noho kahi wai. Makemake lākou i nā moena ʻohe i loko o nā loko a i ʻole nā ululāʻau willow ma nā lima kahawai mālie. Hōʻalo lākou i nā wahi ulu lāʻau.
He aha nā ʻano heron poni ma laila?
Aia ka ʻohana heron ma kahi o 63 mau ʻano e noho ana ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa. ʻO kēia nā manu liʻiliʻi e like me ka bittern India, he 100 grams wale nō kona kaumaha, a me ka heron goliath nui, he 2.6 kilokani kona kaumaha a noho i Iraq. Nui ka poʻe ma ka home ma nā ʻāina wela a me nā subtropics, akā ʻaʻole lākou e noho ma nā wahi anu o ka honua.
Akā, he nui nā ʻohana pili o nā heron poni ma ʻEulopa: ʻO ia hoʻi ka heron hina, kahi mea maʻamau ma ʻaneʻi, a me nā ʻeke nui, nā ʻeke liʻiliʻi, nā heron pō, a me nā ʻeke pipi.

Pehea ke ola o ka heron poni?
ʻAʻole hilahila nā heron poni, akā ʻaʻole ʻoe e ʻike iā lākou ma ʻaneʻi: He mea kakaʻikahi lākou a noho hūnā i ka ʻohe. Hoʻololi maikaʻi ʻia lākou i ke ola i loko o ka ʻohe: He mau manamana wāwae lōʻihi ko lākou hiki ke hopu maikaʻi i ka ʻohe.
ʻO ka maikaʻi loa, hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike iā lākou mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ʻApelila, ke hoʻi mai lākou mai ko lākou wahi hoʻoilo. ʻAʻole ʻike ʻia lākou e kau ana ma nā kumulāʻau. He ʻohana koʻikoʻi ko nā herons poni: i ka hoʻi ʻana o kekahi o nā hoa i ka pūnana, aloha nui lākou i kekahi i kekahi ma ka ʻūhū ʻana i ka hulu lae, ke kuʻi ʻana i ko lākou ʻāʻī, a me ke kani ʻana.
Inā pilikia, hoʻohana nā herons poni i ka mea i kapa ʻia he pou: kū lākou me ka neʻe ʻole, kū pololei, a ʻo ko lākou poʻo a me ko lākou nuku i ʻō i ka lewa ma waena o nā ʻohe, no laila ʻaʻole hiki ke ʻike ʻia. ʻO ka haku ʻōpio hoʻi kēia kūlana i ka wā e hoʻopilikia ʻia a pīhoihoi lākou i ka pūnana. He nui nā manu e lubricate i ko lākou mau hulu me ka ʻaila mai ka preen gland i mea e wai ʻole ai.
ʻAʻole kēia ka hihia o nā herona poni: Hoʻohana lākou i kahi ʻano pauda i hana ʻia mai ka mea i kapa ʻia ʻo ka pauda downs: he mau hulu kēia e ʻōniʻoniʻo ana ke kumu a lilo i pauda. Hāʻawi lākou i ka hulu me ko lākou nuku a me nā maiuu wāwae.
ʻO nā hoaaloha a me nā ʻenemi o ka heron poni
Inā hoʻopilikia ʻia nā herons poni i ka wā e hoʻomoe ana a haʻalele i ka pūnana, hiki i nā mea ʻaihue e like me nā rooks ke hoʻouka i nā hua. ʻAʻohe ʻenemi o nā manu makua, ʻaʻole wale lākou e hāʻule i ka manu ʻai. ʻO ko lākou ʻenemi nui, ʻo ia ke kanaka, nāna e hoʻopau i ko lākou mau wahi noho.
Pehea e hanau ai ka heron poni?
Hoʻomaka ka wā hānau no nā herons poni i Mei a me Iune. ʻO ka hapa nui, hānai lākou i nā kolo. Ua kapa ʻia ko lākou pūnana. ʻOiai he nui a kaumaha kēia mau pūnana, kūkulu nā manu iā lākou ma ka ʻohe ma kahi kiʻekiʻe o 2 mika; Kakaʻikahi wale ka pūnana heron poni ma luna o nā kumulāʻau. He ʻano hoʻoheheʻe nā pūnana a hoʻopaʻa mau ʻia i ka wā o ka hānau ʻana, a ʻo ka hope ke ʻano palahalaha.
Huli nā mākua ʻelua i ka hoʻoulu ʻana a me ka mālama ʻana i nā keiki. Ma hope o ka male ʻana, waiho ka wahine i ʻekolu a ʻelima mau hua ʻulaʻula uliuli ma kahi o 55 millimeters ka lōʻihi i loko o ka pūnana. I kekahi manawa he ewalu. ʻO ka incubation he 24 a 28 mau lā, a laila puka ka ʻōpiopio. Noho lākou i loko o ka pūnana, akā inā hoʻoweliweli ʻia, hiki iā lākou ke piʻi i waho o ka pūnana a peʻe i waena o nā ʻohe i ka makahiki he ʻumi. A pau ka pilikia, hoʻi lākou i ka pūnana.
