Ukudla okuningi kwenyoka ye-kalao kwenziwa ngezithelo zezihlahla ezishisayo. Amakhiwane akhethwa ikakhulukazi ngoba amakhiwane aqukethe ushukela omningi futhi kulula ukuwuthola unyaka wonke.

Obhejane abakhulu baseNdiya, yize sinobukhulu obukhulu, igxuma ngekhono kusuka egatsheni kuya kwelinye igatsha emiqhele yemithi futhi idonsa ngempumelelo izithelo ngomlomo wayo. Izinyoni ezithwele ziqoqwa emhlabathini. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izinyoni zalolu hlobo zingathola izithelo kule mpukane, ziziphonse emoyeni, zibambe ngemilomo yazo ebanzi bese ziyigwinya ngokushesha. IKalao nayo idla izithelo zomuthi, lapho kutholakala khona i-strychnine.

LAPHO UKUPHILA

Indawo yokuhlala yaseKalao isuka eNtshonalanga India iye empumalanga iye eThailand, naseningizimu - enqamula iMangala Peninsula, iSumatra, ifaka phakathi. Izimpondo zohlobo lwama-Hornbill zihlala emqheleni wezihlahla ezishisayo zasehlathini. Izindawo zabo abazithandayo yizicucu zezihlahla ezihlala ziluhlaza, lapho zithola khona ukudla okwanele unyaka wonke.

Lapho ngifuna ukudla, kubulawa obhejane abakhulu baseNdiya phakathi kwezihlahla. Ngokuvamile ungabuka lezi zinyoni zindiza ngababili noma imihlambi emincane yehlathi. UCalao qhubeka ukuxhumana nabanye ngosizo lwemisindo ekhalayo - ukubhonga nokushayeka. Kungakho kungenzeki ukuhamba esidlule esihlahleni unganakile lezi zinyoni. Lapho indiza, i-kalao enamaphiko ayo ayindilinga ifana nentamo.

Ukusikisela

Isikhathi esidlekayo seKalao asenzeki kunoma yisiphi isizini ethile. Izinyoni zivame ukudleka lapho inhlabathi ehlathini iba manzi impela, okusho ukuthi ilungele ukwakha isidleke. Ngokuvamile, lesi sikhathi siba phakathi kukaJanuwari no-Ephreli. UKalao ukhetha umgodi wesidleke, osendaweni ephakeme ngamamitha ayi-18 kuye kwangama-25 ukusuka phansi. Njengoba ikhethe indawo efanelekile yesidleke, insikazi iqala ukuvimba ukungena kwayo. Wenza lokhu ngaphandle kosizo lowesilisa. Owesilisa umethula kuphela ngezinto zokwakha: uginindela wezithelo, izingqimba zomhlaba namagatsha. Yonke le nyoni ihlanganiswe ndawonye yizihlambi. Ukomisa, into eyakhiwe iphenduka ibe udonga olubunjiwe "lukakhonkolo". Lapho umgodi uncishisiwe, insikazi iyagobhoza emgodini bese izihlanganisa ngokwayo ngaphakathi. Ushiya umgodi omncane kuphela owesilisa owondla ngawo, bese owesifazana belahla imfucuza.

Umama uhlala ebiyelwe ngaso sonke isikhathi ukugxilisa futhi ukondla amantshontsho. Ngokunokwenzeka, insikazi ibekela amaqanda ama-2, okufakwa kuwo okuhlala cishe inyanga. Kwesinye isikhathi kuthathwa kuphela inyathi eyodwa. Owesilisa uletha ukudla kowesifazane namachwane aqandwe emaqandeni.

Ekupheleni kwesikhathi sokudlekwa, uba mncane ngokuphelele. Ezinyangeni ezimbili kuya kwezintathu emva kokukhishwa kwamachwane, insikazi iphula “udonga” bese kuthi kanye namachwane, ishiye “isiphetho”. Ngemuva kwalokho, i-kalao encane ifunda ukundiza.

Amaqiniso ATHANDAYO, UKWAZI.

• Amaqanda aseKalao amhlophe, kepha, kancane kancane aguquka umbala wawo futhi abe nsundu. Lokhu kwenzeka ngaphansi kwethonya lezinsalela ezibolile zokudla nezinkuni.
• Imfucumfucu elahlwa yinsikazi namachwane esidlekeni iqukethe imbewu yezitshalo engakhuli engamila ngaphansi kwesihlahla. Abomdabu banganquma iminyaka yenkukhu ngosayizi walezi zitshalo futhi bakhethe umzuzu omuhle kakhulu wokukhipha i-kalao encane esidlekeni. Amachwane atshaliwe angena ezandleni zabathengisi bezilwane.
• Izindunduma zabesifazane zishintsha amapula ngesikhathi sohlobo oluthile lokuphetha. Ukuhlanza kuthatha isonto elilodwa. Ngalesi sikhathi, zonke izimpaphe ezisemaphikweni nasekwenzeni umsila ziyashintsha.

IZIPHUMA ZESIFUNDO SEKALAO. ISIHLOKO

Indiza: inyoni indiza kakhulu ngamaphiko ayo amakhulu, kuyilapho amaphiko enza imisindo ebabazekayo. Endizeni, imivimbo emhlophe emaphikweni iyabonakala.

I-Plumage: ikakhulukazi omnyama nomhlophe, intamo nesifuba kubhema noma kumhlophe ngombala onsundu. Emsileni kudlula umucu omnyama. Imivimbo emaphikweni imhlophe.

Owesilisa: unamehlo akhethekile nge-iris ebomvu ekhanyayo ne-cornea emnyama ngokuphelele. Izihloko zezimpondo zombili zimnyama.

Isigqoko: lokhu kukhula okukhulu ngaphezu kwesisekelo somlomo. Ngaphakathi kwesigqoko kungamaselula, ngakho-ke alula. Kuthuthukisa imisindo eyenziwe yinyoni.

Owesifazane: ngokungafani nowesilisa, iris yakhe imhlophe ngokwebala, futhi eduze kwamehlo akhe kuyindandatho yesikhumba esingenalutho umbala wenyama.

- I-Habitat yeCala

LAPHO UKUPHILA

IKalao, noma obhejane abakhulu baseNdiya, bahlala ehlathini elishisayo laseNtshonalanga India, ngaphansi kweHimalayas eThailand, engxenyeni enkulu yeKalao Peninsula naseSumatra eningizimu.

UKUVIKELA NOKUVIKELA

ICalao isongelwa kakhulu ngokuthuthuka kwempucuko kanye nokubhujiswa kwendawo yokuhlala.

Iphayi libizwa ngoba lingaphezulu kwesiqhwaku, esifana nephayi. Ekuseni ehlathini uyakwazi ukuzwa ukukhala kwalezi zinyoni. Futhi lapho endiza, umsindo wamaphiko ufana nokubona isihlahla. Izindonga zobhejane zaseNdiya, njengazo zonke ezinye izinyoni zobhejane, zidla izithelo, kwesinye isikhathi ziyiphonsa bese ibabamba ngomlomo ophakamisiwe. Ukuphatha uqhwaku olukhulu olukhulu, ngisho nezithelo ezinzima kakhulu zeficus zingakuluma. Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi obhejane badla imbobo. Ngaso leso sikhathi, owesilisa uvala isango lokungena ngodaka, alimise ngamathe, kanti insikazi ayikwazi ukundiza lapho amantshontsho akhule.
