Ikhayithi ebomvu yenye yezona ntaka zaziwa kakhulu. Yayikade ibizwa ngokuba yi-fork harrier kuba inomsila oxandileyo.
iimpawu
Zikhangeleka njani iikayiti ezibomvu?
Ikhayithi ebomvu yintaka entle edla inyama: Amaphiko ayo made, iintsiba zawo zinombala womhlwa, iincam zamaphiko zimnyama, namaphiko angaphantsi amnyama.
Intloko ingwevu okanye imhlophe qhwa. Iikayiti ezibomvu zingama-60 ukuya kuma-66 eesentimitha ubude. Amaphiko azo aphakathi kwe-175 kunye ne-195 yeesentimitha. Amadoda anobunzima obuphakathi kwe-0.7 kunye ne-1.3 yeekhilogram, amabhinqa aphakathi kwe-0.9 ukuya kwi-1.6 yeekhilogram. Umsila namaphiko azo anefoloko, asoloko ejikajika xa ebhabha, awenza kube lula ukuwabona, nokuba ukude kakhulu.
Zihlala phi iikhayithi ezibomvu?
Ikhaya lekhayiti ebomvu ikakhulu kuMbindi Yurophu. Kodwa kwakhona kwenzeka kwi-Great Britain kwaye ukusuka eFransi ukuya eSpeyin naseMntla Afrika, kunye naseScandinavia naseMpuma Yurophu. Uninzi lweekayiti zihlala eJamani; apha ngakumbi eSaxony-Anhalt.
Ikhayiti ebomvu ihlala ikakhulu kwiindawo ezinamahlathi, emacaleni amahlathi akufutshane namasimi, nangaphandle kweendawo zokuhlala. Ukhetha iindawo ezikufutshane nomthamo wamanzi. Ngamanye amaxesha iikayiti ezibomvu zibonakala nakwiidolophu ezinkulu namhlanje. Iintaka ezintle ezizingelayo ziphepha iintaba kunye nodederhu lweentaba eziphantsi.
Loluphi uhlobo lwekhayiti ebomvu olukhoyo?
Ikhayithi emnyama isondelelene nekhayiti ebomvu. Ihlala kwindawo efanayo nekhayiti ebomvu kodwa iyenzeka nakumazantsi e-Afrika kunye nokusuka e-Asiya ukuya kumantla e-Australia. Uhlala ehlala kufuphi nathi emanzini, kwiindawo ezitshisayo nakwiidolophu nakwiilali.
Zombini ezi ntlobo zinokwahlulwa ngokulula enye kwenye: ikhayithi ebomvu inepateni enomtsalane ngakumbi, inomsila omde, kwaye inamaphiko amakhulu kunekhayithi emnyama. Ukongeza kwezi ntlobo zimbini, kukwakho i-snail kite eMelika, i-brahmin kite, i-Egypt parasitic kite, kunye ne-Siberian black kite.
Ingaba iikhayithi ezibomvu ziba neminyaka emingaphi?
Kukholelwa ukuba iikayiti ezibomvu zihlala ukuya kutsho kwiminyaka engama-25. Enye intaka yade yaphila iminyaka engama-33 eluvalelweni. Eminye imithombo inika ingxelo ngekhayithi ebomvu ekuthiwa ifikelele kwiminyaka engama-38 ubudala.
Ziphathe
Ziphila njani iikayiti ezibomvu?
Ekuqaleni, iikayiti ezibomvu ziintaka ezifudukayo ezifudukela kwiindawo ezifudumeleyo kummandla weMeditera ebusika. Kangangeminyaka engama-50, nangona kunjalo, ziya zisanda izilwanyana ezihlala nathi kwixesha elibandayo kuba zikufumana ukutya ngokulula apha – umzekelo okushiyekileyo ezikukhangela kwiindawo zokulahla inkunkuma. Ngoxa zihlala ngababini ehlotyeni, ebusika zidla ngokwenza amaqela amakhulu achitha ubusuku kunye kwindawo ebizwa ngokuba ziindawo zokulala.
I-Red Kites ziiflaya ezinezakhono. Zibhabha emoyeni ngokubetha kwamaphiko okucothayo. Zidla ngokujiwuzisa kwaye zijije imisila yazo, eziyisebenzisa njengephini lokujika. Iikayiti ezibomvu zihamba umgama ongangeekhilomitha ezilishumi elinesibini xa zikhangela amaxhoba. Banemimandla emikhulu engaqhelekanga yeehektare ezingama-2000 ukuya kuma-3000 apho bajikeleza kwiinqwelomoya zabo zokuzingela.
Abahlobo kunye neentshaba zekhayithi ebomvu
Ngenxa yokuba iiRed Kites zizibhabhathane ezinobuchule, zinezilwanyana ezizingelayo zendalo ezimbalwa.
Zivelisa njani ii-Red Kites?
Iikayiti ezibomvu zakha iindlwane zazo phezulu kwimithi evuthulukayo kunye nemithi ye-coniferous. Ubukhulu becala ziyazakha, kodwa ngamanye amaxesha ziphinde zifudukele kwiindlwane zezinye iintaka, umzekelo, iindlwane zamanqina okanye amagwababa.
Xa kuziwa kwizinto zangaphakathi, azikhethi, isidleke sihlanganiswe nayo yonke into enokuthi ifumaneke kuyo: ukusuka kwiingxowa zeplastiki, i-scraps yelaphu, iphepha, kunye noboya obusele kwi-straw, yonke into isetyenzisiweyo. Oku akuyongozi: ngamanye amaxesha abancinci bayabhijelwa ziintambo okanye imicu, abakwazi ukuzikhulula, baze bafe. Ngaphambi kokukhwelana, iikayiti ezibomvu zenza iinqwelo-moya ezintle ngokukhethekileyo: okokuqala, zenza isangqa kwindawo ephakamileyo, emva koko zintywile ezantsi kwindlwane.
Iikayiti ezibomvu zikholisa ukuzala ekuqaleni kukaMeyi. Imazi izalela amaqanda amabini ukuya kwamathathu, kunqabile ukuba abe ngaphezulu. Iqanda ngalinye linobunzima obumalunga ne-60 grams kwaye liziimilimitha ezingama-45 ukuya kuma-56 ubukhulu. Amaqanda anokuba nombala ohluke kakhulu. Amachaphaza ukusuka kumhlophe ukuya kubomvu ukuya kumdaka-violet. Zombini iinkunzi kunye neemazi zizala ngokutshintshanayo.
Amantshontsho aqanduselwa emva kweentsuku ezingama-28 ukuya kweziyi-32. Zihlala kwindlwane kangangeentsuku ezingama-45 ukuya kwezingama-50. Kwiiveki ezimbini zokuqala, inkunzi idla ngokuzisa ukutya ngoxa imazi igada amantshontsho, emva koko amancinane atyiswa ngabazali bobabini. Emva kwexesha kwindlwane, amantshontsho ahlala kumasebe akufutshane nendlwane isithuba esingangeveki enye ukuya kwezimbini ngaphambi kokuba abaleke ngokupheleleyo. Ukuba abahlali nathi, bandula ke bafuduke kunye baye kwindawo abahlala kuyo ebusika emazantsi.
Izingela njani ikhayithi ebomvu?
Iikayiti ezibomvu ngabazingeli abalungileyo. Zibulala ixhoba elikhulu ngokulibetha ngogonyamelo entloko ngomlomo wazo.
Zinxibelelana njani iikayiti ezibomvu?
Iikhayithi ezibomvu zibiza “wiiuu” okanye “djh wiu wiuu”.
Care
Zitya ntoni ii-Red Kites?
Iikayiti ezibomvu zineendlela ezahlukeneyo zokutya: Oku kubandakanya izilwanyana ezincinci ezincancisayo ukusuka kwiimpuku ukuya kwiihamster, kodwa neentaka, iintlanzi, izirhubuluzi kunye namasele, imisundululu, izinambuzane kunye ne-carrion. Ngamanye amaxesha ziphinde zizingele ixhoba kwezinye iintaka ezidla inyama.
Ukufuywa kwe-Red Kites
Iikayiti ezibomvu ngamanye amaxesha zigcinwa kwiifalconries kwaye ziqeqeshelwe ukuzingela.
