Phakathi kweentaka ezidla inyama kukho ookhetshe, njengeentaka ezidla inyama, nanjengeenciniba. Ezona zalamane zisondeleyo zookhetshe ngamaxhalanga, amaxhalanga, amaxhalanga nezinye. Zizonke kukho malunga namashumi amane eentlobo zookhetshe. Bahlala phantse kuyo yonke indawo ehlabathini. Zisibhozo kuphela iintlobo ezizalela eYurophu. Iifelcons, iifalcon zemithi, kunye ne-kestrels zizalela eJamani naseSwitzerland. E-Austria, i-saker falcon nayo iyazala. I-peregrine falcon ifikelela kwisantya esiphezulu xa untywila: 350 km/h. Lonto ikhawuleza ngokuphindwe kathathu kunengwenkala eseMhlabeni.
IiHawks zibonwa lula ngaphandle ngomlomo wazo: indawo ephezulu igobe njengehuka. Banobuchule ngakumbi ekubulaleni amaxhoba abo. Enye into ekhethekileyo ifihliwe phantsi kweentsiba: ii-hawks zine-15 i-vertebrae yomlomo wesibeleko, ngaphezu kwezinye iintaka. Oku kubavumela ukuba bajike iintloko zabo kakuhle ukuze babone ixhoba labo. Ukongeza, ookhetshe babona kakuhle kakhulu ngamehlo abo abukhali.
Abantu bebesoloko bethabatheka ziifalcons. Ngokomzekelo, kumaYiputa amandulo, ukhetshe wawungumqondiso kaFaro, ukumkani. Nanamhlanje, ukhetshe ngumntu oqeqesha ukhetshe ukuba aluthobele aze aluzingele. I-Falconry yayidla ngokuba ngumdlalo wezikhulu ezizityebi.
Baphila njani ookhetshe?
Ookhetshe banokubhabha kakuhle kakhulu, kodwa kufuneka basoloko bephaphazela amaphiko abo. Azikwazi ukubhabha emoyeni njengeenkozi, umzekelo. Xa zisemoyeni, zintlahlela kwizilwanyana ezincancisayo, ezirhubuluzayo, ezihlala emanzini nasemanzini, kunye nezinambuzane ezinkulu, kodwa nezinye iintaka. Bajonga amaxhoba nokuba kuse-perch okanye xa bebhabha.
Ookhetshe abakhi iindlwane. Zibeka amaqanda azo kwindlwane engenanto yolunye uhlobo lweentaka. Nangona kunjalo, ezinye iintlobo ze-falcon zaneliswa ngumngxuma kwindawo yelitye okanye kwisakhiwo. Inkoliso yeekhetshe ezimazi zizalela amaqanda amathathu ukuya kwamane, zize ziwafukamele kangangeeveki ezintlanu. Nangona kunjalo, oku kukwaxhomekeke kwiintlobo zookhetshe.
Enoba okhetshe ziintaka ezifudukayo okanye bahlala kwindawo enye akunakuthethwa ngolu hlobo. I-kestrel iyodwa inokuhlala yodwa kwindawo enye okanye ifudukele emazantsi ebusika. Oko ubukhulu becala kuxhomekeke kubungakanani bokutya okunesondlo abakufumanayo.
Kuxhomekeka kuhlobo lwezilwanyana, ookhetshe basengozini okanye basengozini yokuphela. Ookhetshe abadala abanazo iintshaba. Noko ke, maxa wambi izikhova zikhuphisana nazo ngendawo ezizalela kuyo zize ziphinde zizibulale. Noko ke, olona tshaba lwabo lukhulu ngumntu: abakhweli basongela iindawo ezizalela kuzo, yaye ityhefu kwezolimo iqokelelana kwixhoba. Ookhetshe bazitya kunye nazo ezi tyhefu. Oku kubangela ukuba amaqokobhe amaqanda awo abhitye kwaye aqhekeke, okanye amantshontsho aqanduselwayo angakhuli kakuhle. Abarhwebi bezilwanyana nabo baphanga iindlwane baze bathengise amantshontsho entaka.
