Oklebe baphakathi kwezinyoni ezidla inyama njengezinyoni ezidla inyama nezikhova. Izihlobo eziseduze zoklebe ngokhozi, amanqe, amanqe nabanye. Sekukonke cishe kunezinhlobo ezingamashumi amane zoklebe. Bahlala cishe yonke indawo emhlabeni. Izinhlobo eziyisishiyagalombili kuphela zizalela eYurophu. Ama-peregrine falcons, ama-falcons ezihlahla, nama-kestrel azalela eJalimane naseSwitzerland. E-Austria, i-saker falcon nayo iyazala. I-peregrine falcon ifinyelela isivinini sayo esiphezulu uma itshuza: 350 km/h. Lokho kushesha ngokuphindwe kathathu kunengulule eseMhlabeni.
Oklebe babonakala kalula ngaphandle ngoqhwaku lwabo: ingxenye engaphezulu igobe njengehhuku. Ziyakwazi ikakhulukazi ukubulala inyamazane yazo. Esinye isici esikhethekile sifihliwe ngaphansi kwezimpaphe: oklebe banama-vertebrae omlomo wesibeletho angu-15, ngaphezu kwezinye izinyoni. Lokhu kuzivumela ukuthi ziphendule kahle amakhanda azo ukuze zibone inyamazane yazo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, oklebe bangabona kahle kakhulu ngamehlo abo abukhali.
Abantu bebelokhu bekhangwa ama-falcons. Ngokwesibonelo, phakathi kwabaseGibhithe lasendulo, ukheshe wawuwuphawu lukaFaro, inkosi. Ngisho nanamuhla, ukheshe ungumuntu oqeqesha ukheshe ukuba luwulalele futhi aluzingele. I-Falconry yayivame ukuba ngumdlalo wezikhulu ezicebile.
Baphila kanjani oklebe?
Oklebe bangandiza kahle kakhulu, kodwa ngaso sonke isikhathi kufanele babhakuze amaphiko abo. Azikwazi ukuntweza emoyeni njengezinkozi. Uma zisemoyeni, zigxuma phezu kwezilwane ezincelisayo ezincane, ezihuquzelayo, ezihlala emanzini nasezinambuzaneni ezinkulu, kodwa nakwezinye izinyoni. Abheka inyamazane ehlala e-perch noma endizeni.
Oklebe abakhi izidleke. Zibekela amaqanda azo esidlekeni esingenalutho solunye uhlobo lwezinyoni. Kodwa-ke, ezinye izinhlobo ze-falcon zinezimbobo endaweni yedwala noma esakhiweni. Oklebe abaningi besifazane bazalela cishe amaqanda amathathu kuya kwamane, abawafukamela cishe amasonto amahlanu. Nokho, lokhu kubuye kuncike ezinhlotsheni zoklebe.
Ukuthi ama-falcons ayizinyoni ezifudukayo noma ahlala ehlala endaweni eyodwa angeke kushiwo ngale ndlela. I-kestrel iyodwa ingahlala yodwa endaweni eyodwa noma iye eningizimu ebusika. Lokho kuncike kakhulu ekutheni kungakanani ukudla okunomsoco abakutholayo.
Kuye ngezinhlobo zezilwane, oklebe basengozini noma basongelwa nokushabalala. Okheshe abadala abanazo izitha. Nokho, ngezinye izikhathi izikhova zincintisana nazo ukuze zizalele futhi zibuye zizibulale. Nokho, isitha sabo esikhulu ngumuntu: abaqwali basongela izindawo zokuzalela, futhi ubuthi bezolimo bunqwabelana ezilwaneni. Oklebe badla nabo lobu buthi. Lokhu kubangela ukuthi amagobolondo amaqanda azo abe mncane futhi aqhekeke, noma amaphuphu angeke akhule ngendlela efanele. Abahwebi bezilwane nabo baphanga izidleke futhi badayise amaphuphu ezinyoni.
