Maonekedwe:

Bill : wakuda, wolimba, anthu amtundu wokhoma

Zizindikiro : Amuna ndi ofanana ndi nsalu zamtundu wa buluu zomwe zimasonyezeratu kuwala kowala, kanyumba kakang'ono konyezimira bwino. Chigoba cha buluu chakuda, chakuda ngati chigoba chimayang'ana maso ndipo chimapitirira pamwamba pa zolemba. Ngakhale mawanga akuda amapanga mipiringidzo iwiri. Mbalameyi imakhala yofiira kwambiri ndipo mimba ndi mzere ndizofiirira. Mphungu ya mbalameyi ingasonyeze mitundu yosiyanasiyana ya maonekedwe malinga ndi malingaliro ndi kuwala. Maso ali ofiira achikasu kapena chikasu lalanje ndi wophunzira wakuda, ndipo miyendo ndi miyendo ndi imvi.

Maofesi ali ofanana ndi akulu koma ali ochepa kwambiri, ndipo amawonetsa sooty brown-imvi pansi pake. Diso ndi lamdima.

Zakudya : Tizilombo, mbewu, zipatso, zipatso, tizilombo tochepa, tizilombo tating'onoting'ono ( Onani: Omnivorous )

Habita ndi Kusamukira:

Nyenyezi zimenezi zimasinthidwa ndi malo osiyanasiyana ndipo zingapezeke m'mapiri otseguka, m'madera achikunja , malo osungira komanso kuzungulira anthu m'matawuni ndi midzi. Iwo amapezeka chaka chonse kum'mwera kwa Sahara ku Africa kuchokera ku Senegal ndi kum'mwera kwa Mauritania kumadzulo mpaka kummawa kwa Eritrea ndi Ethiopia.

Chigawo chawo chimadutsa kum'mwera kwa Mozambique ndi Botswana, komwe kumadzulo kukafika kumpoto kwa Namibia ndi kum'mwera kwa Angola.

Pambuyo pa nyengo yobereketsa, gawo lina la kumpoto chakumadzulo kwa mbalamezi limadutsa kumwera, makamaka ku Burkina Faso, Ghana, Togo, Benin, Nigeria ndi kumpoto kwa Cameroon. Iyi ndi gawo lokhalo lokhalokha la anthu ambiri omwe ali ndi nyenyezi zamabuluu.

Zolemba:

Nyenyezi zimenezi zimakhala ndi nyimbo zambirimbiri zomwe zimaphatikizapo zomwe zimaphatikizapo zida zoimbira nyimbo, zojambula zamagulu, mizere yamphongo ndi zolemba zosiyanasiyana. Malipoti oitanira kawirikawiri amakhala amfupi komanso amodzi mwachangu, koma amatha kusintha kwakukulu.

Makhalidwe:

Izi ndi mbalame zosakanikirana zomwe zimatha kusonkhanitsa m'magulu akuluakulu ndi zinyumba, nthawi zambiri zinkakanikirana ndi mitundu yambiri ya nyenyezi. Adzalima m'mitengo kapena pansi, ndipo amayamba kuyenda m'malo mopuma pogwiritsa ntchito chakudya. Adzapita kumalo odyetserako ziweto kuti azitenga tizilombo ndi tizilombo toyambitsa matenda.

Kubalanso:

Mbalamezi ndi mbalame zam'mlengalenga zomwe zimagwiritsa ntchito zikopa zachilengedwe kapena mabowo akale omwe amapangira matabwa kapena barbets. Nyenyezi zazikuluzikulu zam'nyanja zam'nyanja zimayambanso kuwona zisala m'misewu yayikuru mu zisa zazitali zabise ndi storks.

Amuna ndi akazi amagwira ntchito limodzi kuti azitha kumanga zouma ndi udzu wouma, nthenga ndi zinthu zofanana.

Mazirawo ndi ofiira-buluu ndi madontho ofiira kapena ofiira, ndipo pali mazira 2-5 pa mwana aliyense. Mayi wachikazi amamwa mazira kwa masiku 13-14, ndipo atatha kupha achinyamata, onse awiri amabweretsa anapiye chakudya cha masiku 22-24. Pa nthawiyi, anyamatawa amakhala okonzeka kuchoka chisa, koma amatsatira makolo awo kuti adziwe malo abwino odyera komanso zakudya.

Amayi ambiri amakhala ndi nyenyezi zimenezi, ngakhale kuti kusamba kwawo ndi kupindulitsa sikukuphunzitsidwa mozama. Nthaŵi zina amazunzidwa ndi ana amtundu wa cuckoos ndipo, ngakhale pang'ono, amakhala ndi uchi.

Kukopa Kwambiri Mbalame Yaikulu-Eared Starlings:

Mbalamezi ndi zopanda mantha ndipo zimakhala mosavuta pafupi ndi anthu, makamaka ngati malo odyetserako ziweto alipo komanso kuti mankhwala osokoneza bongo amatha kuchepetsedwa pofuna kutsimikizira chakudya chabwino.

Kubzala mkuyu kapena zomera zowonjezera kungathandize kukopa mbalamezi, komanso zimayendera magetsi odalirika. Nyenyezi zazikulu zamitundu yobiriwira zimapezeka m'madera aulimi ndi zinyama zambiri kuti zizitha kudyetsa tizilombo.

Kusungidwa:

Mbalamezi sizikuwopsedwa kapena kuziika pangozi, ndipo makamaka kukhalapo kwa ulimi wa ziweto kukuthandizira kukula ndi kuchuluka kwawo.
