Inyoni e-stilt inemilenze emide ebomvana, ehluke kakhulu kuzo zonke ezinye izinhlobo zezinyoni.
Umzimba wayo ulinganiselwa ku-40 cm ubude, futhi umbozwe ngokuphelele izimpaphe ezimhlophe. Izimpiko zimnyama ngombala futhi zivelela ngale kolayini womsila.
Ekhanda inyoni stilt inombala omnyama ngesimo sekepisi elincane. Kwabesilisa nabesifazane, lo mbala uhlukile kancane komunye nomunye, ngoba kowesifazane ulula. Iphiko liba cishe amasentimitha angama-75. Abesifazane nabo bancane ngosayizi kunabesilisa.
Izici nendawo yokuhlala
Ngisho kuqhubeke isithombe sesitaki Kulula kakhulu ukuhlukanisa kuzo zonke ezinye izinyoni. Ingani unemilenze emide kunazo zonke.
Lesi sici sesakhiwo somzimba wakhe asikhethwanga ngengozi, ngoba inyoni kufanele ihambe njalo emanzini angajulile kukho konke ukuphila kwayo, izifunele ukudla ngosizo lomlomo omncane.
Njengomthetho, isitaki sihlala emfuleni iDon, eTransbaikalia nasePrimorye. Ingatholakala futhi e-Afrika, eNew Zealand, eMadagascar, e-Australia nase-Asia.
Kaningi, le nyoni ingabonakala ihamba kancane emfuleni, echibini elinosawoti noma emifuleni ehlukene.
Imilenze emide yale nyoni ingukuzijwayeza okubalulekile okuyivumela ukuthi ihambele kude nogu ifuna inzuzo.
Isitaki siyabonakala kalula ngemilenze yaso emide ebomvana.
Ngokubukeka, isitaki sifana kakhulu nezinyoni, eziku-oda lwamaqakala. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ifana nonogolantethe omnyama nomhlophe, usayizi omncane nje ngosayizi.
Lesi sitaki sithathwa njengenye yezinhlobo zezinyoni ezithandekayo. Ngemuva kwakho konke, lapho abanye benamachwane, baba nolaka ngokwengeziwe, futhi lokhu, kunalokho, bangena koloni kwezinye izinyoni.
Uhlamvu nendlela yokuphila
Ama-stilts yizinyoni ezifudukayo ezibuyela emazweni akubo cishe ngo-Ephreli. Bahlale beshiya izinyathelo esihlabathini, lapho umuntu angabona khona kalula ubukhona babo endaweni ethile.
Izinyathelo ezinjalo zinkulu, futhi izidladla zazo zineminwe emithathu, ubukhulu bazo obungu-6 cm.Iminwe ngokwayo mide, futhi kukhona ulwelwesi oluncane phakathi komunwe wesi-3 nowesi-4.
Ukuhamba isihlalo se-sandpiper ngendlela eyinqaba, okwenza izinyathelo ezinkudlwana zibe kude ngamasentimitha angama-25. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, abathembeli ngokuphelele kunyawo uqobo, kodwa eminweni, beshiya imikhondo ngemuva.
Izwi labo lizwakala kakhulu ngesimo se- "kick-kick-kick". Ukuhamba ngasogwini, bahlala behlupha izimpaphe ezinde ezindizayo, ukuze ukwazi ukubona masinyane ukubukeka kwazo.
Lalela izwi lesitaki
Lezi zinyoni zihola impilo yansuku zonke, lapho isikhathi esiningi ziseduze kwamanzi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ziyakwazi ukubhukuda kahle (ikakhulukazi amatshwele) futhi zize zizejule.
Ukudla
Abantu abaningi banesithakazelo kulo mbuzo udlani udliwe? Kuvela ukuthi ukudla kwabo kuhlukile. Lapho befuna ukudla, bacwilisa amakhanda abo ngaphansi kwamanzi kangangokuba umsila wabo kuphela obonakala ebusweni.
Besebenzisa uqhwaku lwabo, bazama ukuthola izimbungulu zamanzi, izikelemu zegazi. Emhlabathini, akakubheki ukudla, ngoba wonke amadivayisi anokufuna ukudla ahlotshaniswa namanzi.
Inhlanganisela enkulu yokondla isitaki imilenze emide impela, ngosizo lwayo ingafinyelela kalula ezinambuzaneni kusuka ekujuleni okukhulu, lapho ezinye izinyoni zingakwazi ukufinyelela khona.
Bavame ukuthanda ukuzitika ngezitshalo ezithile, izibungu, amabhungane okubhukuda ngisho nofeleba. Emhlabathini, bangadla futhi, kepha kwesinye isikhathi kuba nenkinga enkulu ukwenza lokhu, ngenxa yokuthi udinga ukugoba amadolo njalo.
Uma ubuza, ukuthi uqhwaku lwesiqu lubukeka kanjani, lapho-ke singaphendula ngokuphepha lokho kuzimpintshi ezijwayelekile, ezenza kube lula ukubamba izinambuzane ezincane emanzini naphezulu.
Ukuzaliswa kanye nempilo yesitaki
Lolu hlobo lwenyoni aluthandi isizungu. Ngesikhathi sokuzala, bakha amakoloni amancane, lapho kungaba khona amashumi ngamabili wamabili.
Ukuzalela wedwa akuvamile. Ukukhulelwa ngokuvamile kwenzeka nezinye izinhlobo zezinyoni. Omakhelwane bavame ukuhlala ngokuthula okukhulu, kepha lapho kuvela izitha, zonke izinyoni zibamba iqhaza ekuvikeleni ikoloni lazo. Izidleke ngokwazo zibekwa eduze kwamanzi, ngisho nasezinye izinyoni.
I-sandpiper ifaka amagatsha, izinsalela zezitshalo ezahlukahlukene bese iba neziqu emgodini. Uma, ngasizathu simbe, i-clutch yokuqala yaphukile noma yagcwala amanzi, imvamisa ihlehlisa eyesibili. Kodwa-ke, impumelelo ephelele yokukhiqiza kwabo incane kakhulu futhi iba kusuka ku-15 kuye ku-45%.
I-stilts ibhangqa cishe ngo-Ephreli noma ngoMeyi. Abesifazane basebenza kakhulu kunabesilisa. Isilinganiso, isitaki sezinyoni ezingandile izalela amaqanda amane lilinye, elinganisa u-30-40 mm.
Endaweni ethile entwasahlobo noma ekuqaleni kwehlobo, insikazi iqala ukubekela amaqanda ayo, ezohlala kuyo isikhathi esingaba amasonto amane. Kungemva kwalokho kuphela lapho amaphuphu ezobhulela amaqanda bese eqala ukuphila impilo yawo. Amaphuphu avikelwe bobabili abazali ngasikhathi sinye.
Amaviki okuqala okuphila kwamachwane athule. Ngalesi sikhathi, badinga ukudla kahle ukuze izimpaphe zabo zikhule ngokushesha.
Eduze nenyanga baqala ukufunda ukundiza futhi bazimele kukho konke, ikakhulukazi ekufuneni ukudla. Ngaphambi kokuhamba, izinyoni ezincane zinombala wezimpaphe onsundu, kamuva oguqukayo.
Zikhula ngokushesha okukhulu futhi zifinyelela isisindo esifinyelela ku-220 amagremu. Lezi zinyoni zivuthwa ngokocansi eminyakeni emibili, kepha isikhathi sokuphila kwazo siyiminyaka eyishumi nambili.
Ama-wader angabazali abakhathalelayo kakhulu. Uma kukhona ingozi esondela esidlekeni, umcibisholo uyasuka ngokushesha futhi azame ukuphazamisa ukunaka kwesihambeli esingamenyiwe ngokumemeza kwaso, asuse isitha. Zikulungele ngisho nokuzibeka engozini, ngenkathi zivikela amaphuphu azo.
Muva nje, inani lezibalo lincishiswe kakhulu, ngenxa yokwakhiwa kwezindawo ezintsha ngabantu kanye nokoma kwemizimba yamanzi, lapho umcibisholo uzifunela khona ukudla.
Futhi kaningi ukubanjwa kwamaqanda kubhubha ngezizathu ezahlukahlukene. Futhi abanye abaningi bafa ngenxa yokuzingelwa ngokungemthetho kwabazingeli ababadubulayo ngesikhathi sezindiza.
Manje isitaki sibhalwe kuRed Book njengezinhlobo zezinyoni ezingandile, okusasele ezimbalwa kuzo emhlabeni.
