He ʻohana manu ʻo Stoks. ʻO ka seto keʻokeʻo ka mea iʻike nuiʻia e mākou. He keʻokeʻo kona hulu, ʻeleʻele wale nā ʻēheu. He ʻulaʻula ka nuku a me nā wāwae. ʻElua mika ka laula o ko lākou mau ʻēheu ʻēheu a ʻoi iki paha. Ua kapa ʻia hoʻi ke kikoo keʻokeʻo ʻo "rattle stork".
He 18 ʻano ʻē aʻe o nā setoka. Noho lākou ma nā ʻāina āpau koe ʻo Antarctica. He ʻiʻo a pau a he lōʻihi nā wāwae.
Pehea ka noho ana o ka seto keokeo?
Hiki ke ʻike ʻia nā kikoo keʻokeʻo ma ʻEulopa a pau i ke kauwela. Hānau lākou i kā lākou ʻōpiopio ma ʻaneʻi. He mau manu lele lākou. Noho nā seto keʻokeʻo mai ʻEulopa Hikina i ka hoʻoilo ma ʻApelika mehana. Pela no na seto keokeo ma ke komohana o Europa. I kēia lā, lele wale ka nui o lākou a hiki i Sepania. Mālama kēia iā lākou i ka nui o ka ikehu a loaʻa nō hoʻi lākou i nā meaʻai ʻoi aʻe ma nā ʻōpala ʻōpala ma mua o ʻApelika. Ma muli o ka hoʻololi ʻana i ke aniau, e noho mau ana ka hapalua o nā seto keʻokeʻo ma Switzerland ma kahi hoʻokahi. Ua lawa ka mahana ma ʻaneʻi i hiki iā lākou ke ola i ka hoʻoilo maikaʻi.
ʻAi nā kikoo keʻokeʻo i ka ʻiʻo honua, nā ʻupena, nā rana, nā ʻiole, nā ʻiole, nā iʻa, nā moʻo, a me nā nahesa. ʻAi nō hoʻi lākou i ke kino make, he holoholona make. Hele lākou ma waena o nā ululāʻau a ma waena o nā ʻāina ʻāhiu a laila hahau me ka wikiwiki o ka uila me ko lākou nuku. ʻOi aku ka nui o nā pilikia o nā kikoo no ka mea ʻuʻuku a liʻiliʻi nā puʻuhonua kahi e loaʻa ai ka meaʻai.
Hoʻi mua ke kāne mai ka hema a pae i kāna eyrie mai ka makahiki i hala. ʻO ia ka mea i kapa ʻia e ka poʻe akamai he pūnana senta. Hele mai kāna wahine ma hope iki. Noho pono nā kāne Stork i kekahi i kekahi no ke ola. He 30 makahiki paha ia. Hoʻonui lākou i ka pūnana a ʻoi aku ke kaumaha ma mua o ke kaʻa, ʻo ia hoʻi ma kahi o ʻelua mau tona.
Ma hope o ka male ʻana, waiho ka wahine i ʻelua a ʻehiku mau hua. He ʻelua paha ka nui o kēlā me kēia me ka hua moa. Huli nā mākua i ka incubating. Hoʻopuka ka ʻōpiopio ma hope o 30 mau lā. ʻO ka maʻamau ma kahi o ʻekolu. Hānai nā mākua iā lākou no ʻeiwa pule. A laila lele nā keikikāne i waho. Ua oʻo ko lākou moekolohe ma kahi o ʻehā makahiki.
Nui nā moʻolelo e pili ana i ke kikoo. No laila, manaʻo ʻia e lawe mai ke kikoo i nā pēpē kanaka. Moe ʻoe i ka lole, paʻa ke kikoo i ka puʻupuʻu a i ʻole ke kaula ma kona nuku. Ua ʻike ʻia kēia manaʻo ma o ka moʻolelo moʻolelo i kapa ʻia ʻo "The Storks" na Hans Christian Andersen. ʻO ia paha ke kumu i manaʻo ʻia ai nā ʻaka he mau mea laki.
He aha nā setona ʻē aʻe i laila?
Aia kekahi ʻano ʻano kikoo ma ʻEulopa, ʻo ka setork ʻeleʻele. ʻAʻole kēia i ʻike nui ʻia a ʻoi aku ka kakaikahi ma mua o ke kiko keʻokeʻo. Noho ʻo ia i nā ululāʻau a hilahila loa i ke kanaka. He liʻiliʻi iki ia ma mua o ke kiko keʻokeʻo a he ʻeleʻele kona hulu.
He mau kala ʻē aʻe a ʻoi aku ka nui o nā ʻano kikoo. ʻO ka Abdimstork a i ʻole ka ua e pili kokoke ana i ka ʻEulopa. Noho ia ma ʻApelika, e like me ka marabou. No ʻApelika nō hoʻi ka noho hoʻomoe, noho ka setokā pilikua ma Asia a me Australia. He kanakolu keneta ka lōʻihi o ka nuku o ka setoka nunui wale nō.
