Izigwaca inyoni encane. Izigwaca ezindala zingamasentimitha angu-18 ubude futhi zinesisindo esingamagremu angu-100. Izigwaca zingatholakala cishe yonke indawo eYurophu, nasezindaweni ezithile zase-Afrika nase-Asia. Njengezinyoni ezifudukayo, izigwaca zethu zichitha ubusika e-Afrika efudumele.
Ngokwemvelo, izigwaca zihlala ezindaweni ezivulekile nezimfunda. Zidla ikakhulukazi izinambuzane, imbewu, nezingxenye ezincane zezitshalo. Abanye abalimi babuye bafuye izigwaca. Zisebenzisa amaqanda azo njengoba ezinye zisebenzisa amaqanda ezinkukhu ezifuywayo.
Abantu abavamile ukubona izigwaca ngoba bethanda ukucasha. Kodwa-ke, iculo elisetshenziswa abesilisa ukuze lihehe abesifazane lingazwakala endaweni eqhele ngesigamu sekhilomitha. Ngokuvamile izigwaca zihlangana kanye kuphela ngonyaka, ngoMeyi noma ngoJuni. Izigwaca zesifazane zizalela amaqanda ayisikhombisa nayishumi nambili. Iwafukamela endaweni eyigodi emhlabathini, lapho insikazi igqigqa ngezindwani zotshani.
Isitha esikhulu sezigwaca indoda ngoba ibhidliza kakhulu indawo ezihlala izigwaca. Lokhu kwenziwa ngokulima amasimu amakhulu kwezolimo. Ubuthi obufuthwa abalimi abaningi bulimaza nezigwaca. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izigwaca zizingelwa abantu ngezibhamu. Inyama namaqanda abo bekubhekwa njengento ewujuqu emakhulwini amaningi eminyaka. Nokho, inyama ingaba nobuthi kubantu. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi izigwaca zidla izitshalo ezingenabungozi kuzo kodwa ezinobuthi kubantu.
Ku-biology, izigwaca zakha uhlobo lwazo lwezilwane. Ihlobene nenkukhu, i-partridge ne-turkey. Kanye nezinye izinhlobo eziningi zezilwane, zakha uhlelo lwe-Galliformes. Izigwaca inyoni encane kunazo zonke ngokulandelana. Futhi uyena yedwa kubo oseyinyoni efudukayo.
