Mitundu yokha ya flamingo yomwe imapezeka ku North America, flamingo ya ku America nthawi zina imalingaliridwa ndi subspecies ya flamingo yaikulu. Zosatheka kuzindikiritsa, iyi ndi imodzi mwa mbalame zodabwitsa kwambiri m'madera ake a Caribbean.
Dzina Loyamba : American Flamingo, Caribbean Flamingo, Flamingo Yaikulu, Fillymingo
Dzina la sayansi: Phoenicopterus ruber
Scientific Family: Phoenicopteridae
Maonekedwe:
- Bill : Pale woyera kapena pinki ali ndi nsonga zakuda, wakuda, wolimba pansi "kupumula" khola
- Kukula kwake : 35-50 mainchesi yaitali ndi mapiko a masentimita 60, khosi lalitali kwambiri, miyendo yaitali kwambiri
- Mitundu : Pinki, yoyera, yakuda, wachikasu, lalanje, imvi
- Zizindikiro : Amuna ndi ofanana ndi mapulaneti onse a pinki kapena pinki-lalanje ndi mtundu wolimba kwambiri pamchira, pachifuwa, pamutu ndi pamutu. Kumbuyo ndi pansi kumatha kuwoneka wamtundu, ngakhale woyera. Mphamvu zamitundu yonse zimasiyana kwambiri malinga ndi zakudya za mbalame, thanzi ndi kukula. Nthenga zapakati ndi zapamwamba zili zakuda koma zimakhala zosawoneka kupatula pandege. Maso ndi achikasu, ndipo miyendo ndi miyendo ndi yotumbululuka kapena imvi ndi ziwalo zakuda zakuda.
Zolembazo zimayambidwa ndi fluffy, imvi pansi, koma pang'onopang'ono kukhala wamkulu mtundu pamene akukula. Ng'ombe zazing'ono kwambiri zimakhala ndi ngongole zochepa, zolimbitsa thupi komanso zazing'ono.
Mitundu ndi monotypic popanda subspecies yovomerezeka.
Chakudya: Algae, plankton, nsomba, ziboda ( Onani: Omnivorous )
Habita ndi Kusamukira:
Ziphalaphala zimenezi zimapezeka ku Caribbean, makamaka ku Bahamas ndi ku Cuba, komanso m'mphepete mwa nyanja ya Caribbean ya Mexico, Yucatan ndi Central America.
Anthu ena amapezeka m'mphepete mwa nyanja kumpoto kwa South America mpaka kumpoto kwa Brazil ndipo palinso anthu ku Galapagos. Ma flaming a ku America amapezeka m'madzi akuluakulu, otseguka, osadziwika, nyanja, zida ndi matope, nthawi zambiri ndi madzi a brackish kapena saline. Kuwona malo ogonera alendo nthawi zonse kumachitika pamphepete mwa nyanja pafupi ndi nyanja ya Caribbean, kuphatikizapo ku Texas ndi ku Florida.
Zina mwaziwonetserozi, mwina, zingakhale mbalame zathawa kuchoka ku ukapolo m'malo mowombera mafirimu a ku America, choncho sichidalira zolemba za moyo kapena zolemba za mitundu.
Zolemba:
Ma flamingo a ku America alibe nyimbo, koma amagwiritsa ntchito mitundu yosiyanasiyana ya maulendo a raspy omwe amatha kutulutsa mkokomo komanso modzikweza m'magulu akuluakulu, kuphatikizapo akuthawa. Kufulumira ndi nthawi ya maitanidwe angasinthe malinga ndi kugwedezeka kwa mbalame, ndipo ulemu wochuluka ndi wamba podyetsa kapena panthawi ya chibwenzi .
Makhalidwe:
Mbalamezi ndi zamanyazi kwa anthu, koma zimakhala zosasamala ndipo zimasonkhana m'magulu akuluakulu kapena akuluakulu. Amadyetsa pamene akuyenda, akugwiritsira ntchito ngongole zawo zokhotakhota kutsogolo kuti azisakaniza tizilombo tating'onoting'ono ndi algae kunja kwa madzi komanso ngakhale kumeta mutu wawo nthawi zina. Iwo ndi amphamvu koma osasambira osambira, ndipo nthawi zambiri amawoneka akuyenda kapena kuima m'malo kusambira. Panthawi yopumula, amakoka miyendo yawo mosasinthasintha ndipo amatha kuyenda mwendo umodzi, akusintha miyendo nthawi zina.
Kubalanso:
Maflamingo a ku America ndi mbalame zosagwirizana ndi zinyama zakutchire, ndipo si zachilendo kukhala ndi zisa kuchokera pawiri awiri okha. Mbalamezi zimasankha okwatirana kupyolera mu kayendetsedwe ka kayendetsedwe kamodzi, kuphatikizapo kuyenda, kuwomba mutu, kutembenuka ndi kuyitana.
Chisa chomwe amachimanga ndi awiriwa, chimatchedwa mud mound ndi mawonekedwe a cone, ngakhale kuti ma flamingos ku Galapagos amagwiritsa ntchito miyala ndi miyala yokhala ndi miyala. Mtsinje ukhoza kufika wamtali wa masentimita 18-20, ndipo umakhala ndi kupanikizika pakati kuti muteteze dzira.
Makolo onse awiriwa adzalumikiza chisa kwa masiku 28-32, ndipo atatha kudya, amadyetsa mkaka wa mbewu kwa masiku 3-12 mpaka adzalumikizana ndi ana a nkhuku zatsopano zomwe zakhala zikugwiritsidwa ntchito. Mbalameyi imakhalabe mumtunda wautsikana wa masiku pafupifupi 75 mpaka ulendo wawo woyamba. Dzira loyera lokha limakhala lopangidwa ndi flamingos chaka chilichonse.
Ma Flamingos Achimereka:
Ngakhale kuti phokoso la mapulasitiki la pinki likufalikira, izi si mbalame zam'mbuyo. Nkofunikira kuti asunge zamchere kapena mabwawa amchere amakonda kupereka chakudya chokwanira.
Mbalame ziyenera kuyendetsa kutali ndi ma flamingos omwe amapezeka ku America kuti asapangitse kuti mbalame zisamapanikizike.
Kuti mumvetse bwino ma flamingos a ku America, mbalame zingakonde kuganizira zokaona mbalame za mbalamezi, zoo kapena zozizwitsa. Pamene mbalame zomwe zimagwidwa ukapolo sizikuwerengera mndandanda wa moyo, zikhoza kukhala zabwino kuti ziwonetsere ndikuphunzira zambiri za mbalame zachilendo komanso zofala.
Kusungidwa:
M'zaka za 1950, mbalameyi zinaopsezedwa kwambiri ndi anthu osachepera 25,000, zikukhulupilira kuti zatsala kuthengo, makamaka chifukwa cha poaching ndi ziopsezo zambiri. Mwamwayi, chiŵerengero chawo chawonjezeka m'zaka makumi angapo zapitazi, ndipo pamene mbalamezi sizikuonongedwanso kapena kuika pangozi, iwo akadali oopsya ku zoopsa zosiyanasiyana. Zowononga kapena masoka achilengedwe zingathe kuwononga nkhosa zonse mofulumira ndipo zikhoza kuthetsa kuswana kwa nkhosa chaka chimodzi ngati zisa zikuwonongedwa. Nsomba zoyendetsa nsomba, zomwe zimayambitsa poizoni kuchokera ku nsomba komanso kuwonongeka kwa madzi awo ndizoopsa zina. Nthaŵi zina, mafano a ku America angakhalenso ogwedezeka kapena kuzunzidwa.
Mbalame zofanana:
- Roseate Spoonbill ( Ajaia ajaja )
- Scarlet Ibis ( Eudocimus ruber )
- Flamingo ya Chile ( Phoenicopterus chilensis )
- Flamingo Yaikulu ( Phoenicopterus roseus )
