Intshayelelo: Yintoni Starling birds?
Iintaka eziziinkwenkwezi ziintaka ezincinci ukuya kubukhulu obuphakathi ezikusapho lwe Sturnidae. Zaziwa ngeempawu zazo ezikhethekileyo, kuquka iintsiba zazo ezimbejembeje, imilomo yazo ebukhali neengoma ezimyoli. Kukho ngaphezu kwe-120 iindidi zeentaka eziziinkwenkwezi, ezifumaneka kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo zehlabathi, kuquka iYurophu, i-Asia, i-Afrika, ne-Australia.
Inkwenkwezi ziintaka ezihlala kakhulu ezihlala zenza imihlambi emikhulu, ngakumbi ngexesha lokuzala. Baziwa nangokukwazi ukulinganisa izandi kunye namazwi, nto leyo eye yabenza babizwa ngegama lesidlaliso esithi "imilinganiso eneentsiba." Iintaka zeenkwenkwezi zi-omnivorous kwaye zondla kwiintlobo ezininzi zokutya, kuquka izinambuzane, iziqhamo, imbewu kunye ne-nectar. Kweli nqaku, siza kuqwalasela ngakumbi iimpawu eziphawulekayo zenyama yeentaka eziziinkwenkwezi.
Iimpawu zoMzimba zeeNkwenkwezi
Iintaka ezinkwenkwezi zineempawu eziliqela ezahlula kwezinye iindidi zeentaka. Ezi mpawu ziquka iintsiba zabo, umlomo kunye namehlo, amaphiko kunye nepateni yokubhabha, ubukhulu kunye nobunzima, amazwi kunye neenyawo. Makhe sihlolisise nganye kwezi mpawu.
I-Plumage yeeNtaka Eziziinkwenkwezi
Enye yezona zinto zibalaseleyo kwiintaka eziziinkwenkwezi ziintsiba zazo ezimbejembeje, ezibengezela kukukhanya kwelanga. Umbala weentsiba uyahluka ngokuxhomekeka kwiindidi, kodwa ngokuqhelekileyo ukudibanisa okuluhlaza, omfusa, oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka kunye nomnyama. Iintsiba entloko nasentanyeni zidla ngokuba nemibala emininzi kunezo zisemzimbeni wonke. Ngexesha lokuzala, amantshontsho angamaduna avelisa iintsiba ezidlamkileyo ukuze atsale iqabane.
Iintaka ezinkwenkwezi zikwanobuchule obukhethekileyo bokukhukhumala iintsiba zazo, nto leyo ebanceda ukuba balawule ubushushu bomzimba wabo kwaye zizenze zibonakale zikhulu kwaye zoyike ngakumbi kumarhamncwa. Oku kuziphatha kukwasetyenziswa kwimiboniso yokuthandana kunye nangexesha lokusebenzisana ngokukrakra nezinye iintaka.
Umlomo weNtaka eStarling kunye namehlo
Iintaka ezinkwenkwezi zinemilomo etsolo netsolo ekulungeleyo ukucanda iimbewu ezivulekileyo kunye nokukhutshwa kwamathambo ezinambuzane. Umlomo ukwasetyenziselwa ukuhlola umhlaba okanye ixolo lomthi ukufumana ukutya. Amehlo eentaka eziziinkwenkwezi makhulu kwaye abekwe emacaleni entloko yazo, nto leyo ebanika indawo ebanzi yokubona. Oku kubalulekile ekubhaqeni amarhamncwa kunye nezinye iintaka kwindawo ezihlala kuzo.
Amehlo eentaka ezinkwenkwezi nawo alungele ukubona ukukhanya kwe-ultraviolet, okungabonakali kwiliso lomntu. Obu buchule bubanceda ukuba bafumane ukutya kwaye bachonge amaqabane anokuba ngamaqabane.
I-Wingspan kunye ne-Flight Pattern ye-Starlings
Iintaka eziziinkwenkwezi zinamaphiko amalunga ne-30cm ukuya kuma-45cm, ngokuxhomekeke kuhlobo. Zinamaphiko omeleleyo natsolo azivumela ukuba zibhabhe ngokukhawuleza kwaye zihambe emoyeni ngokulula. Iinkwenkwezi ziyaziwa ngeepateni zazo zokubhabha nge-acrobatic, ezibandakanya ukujika ngesiquphe, ukuntywila, kunye nokuqengqeleka. Ezi ndlela zokubhabha zisetyenziselwa ukuphepha amarhamncwa kunye nokuchukumisa amaqabane anokuba ngamaqabane.
Ubungakanani kunye nobunzima beNtaka eStarling
Iintaka eziziinkwenkwezi ziintaka ezincinci ukuya kweziphakathi ezinobunzima obuphakathi kwe 60g ukuya kwi 100g, ngokuxhomekeke kuhlobo. Zimalunga ne-20cm ukuya kwi-25cm ubude, kunye nomsila omfutshane, osisikwere. Inkwenkwezi yenkunzi nemazi ziyafana ngobukhulu nangenkangeleko, nangona iinkunzi zihlala zinentsiba ezidlamkileyo ngexesha lokuzala.
Ubume beNdawo yeeNkwenkwezi
Iintaka zeenkwenkwezi zinomhlaba ophezulu kwaye ziya kukhusela ngokukrakra iindawo zazo zokuhlala kunye neendawo zokutya kwezinye iintaka. Zikwaziwa ngokuziphatha kwazo kokuxukuxa, okubandakanya ukuhlasela amarhamncwa okanye ezinye iintaka kwiinzame zeqela elilungelelanisiweyo. Le ndlela yokuziphatha isetyenziselwa ukukhusela abantwana babo kunye nokugxotha iingozi ezinokubakho.
Iingoma zeStarling Bird
Iintaka eziziinkwenkwezi zaziwa ngeengoma zazo ezimyoli, ezidla ngokuntsonkotha yaye zihlukahlukene. Bakwanobuchule bokulinganisa izandi namazwi, kuquka iminxeba yezinye iintaka, intetho yomntu, kwanesandi sokulumkisa kwemoto. Obu buchule buye babenza baduma njengabalinganisi abanetalente kwaye baye babenza bathandwa kwiindawo ezithile zehlabathi.
Ukujongwa ngokusondeleyo kwiiNyawo zeNtaka eNtaka
Iintaka eziziinkwenkwezi zineenyawo ezomeleleyo neziguquguqukayo ezilungele ukuhlala kunye nokukhwela. Zine iinzwane ezine, ezineenzwane ezintathu ezijonge phambili kunye nenzwane enye ejonge ngasemva. Eli lungiselelo libavumela ukuba babambelele kumasebe nakweminye imiphezulu ngokulula. Iinkwenkwezi nazo ziyakwazi ukuvula nokuvala iinzwane zazo ngokuzimeleyo, nto leyo ebanika ulawulo olukhulu phezu kokubamba kwabo.
Indawo yokuhlala yeNtaka kunye noSasazo
Iintaka eziziinkwenkwezi zifumaneka kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo zokuhlala, kubandakanywa nemithi, ingca kunye neendawo zasezidolophini. Zivela eYurophu, e-Asiya, e-Afrika nase-Australia, nangona ezinye iintlobo ziye zaziswa kwezinye iindawo zehlabathi, kuquka uMntla Melika. Iinkwenkwezi ziintaka eziguquguqukayo ezinokukhula kwiindawo ezininzi ezahlukeneyo, nto leyo eye yanegalelo kwimpumelelo yazo njengohlobo oluthile.
Ukutya kweentaka eziNkwenkwezi
Iintaka eziziinkwenkwezi ziyi-omnivorous kwaye zitya iindidi ezininzi zokutya. Ngokuyintloko zondla izinambuzane, kuquka amabhungane, iimbumba kunye neentethe, kodwa ziphinde zidle iziqhamo, imbewu kunye ne-nectar. Amantshontsho eenkwenkwezi afuna ithuba lokutya kwaye ayakuthatha ithuba lokutya okukhoyo.
Ulondolozo lweNtaka
Uninzi lweentlobo zeentaka zeenkwenkwezi azibonwa njengengozi yokuphela, nangona abanye abantu behlile ngenxa yokulahleka kwendawo yokuhlala kunye neminye imisebenzi yabantu. Kwezinye iindawo zehlabathi, iinkwenkwezi zigqalwa njengezinambuzane ezitshabalalisayo kwaye zilawulwa ngenkuthalo ngokuzingela nangezinye iindlela. Nangona kunjalo, amantshontsho eenkwenkwezi adlala indima ebalulekileyo kwizinto eziphilayo kwaye axatyiswa ngenxa yobuhle, ubukrelekrele kunye nobuchule bawo belizwi. Iinzame zolondolozo ziyaqhubeka ukukhusela ezi ntaka kunye neendawo zazo zokuhlala.
