Carpodacus purpureus
Mbalame yokongola ngakhale kuti mvula imatchulidwa bwanji, nsalu yotsekemera nthawi zambiri imakhala ndi rasipiberi, wofiira, pinki, wofiirira, vinyo kapena mphesi. Pamene wamwamuna ali ndi mtundu uwu, nsalu zazing'ono zazimayi ndizosaoneka zokongola koma zochepa.
Dzina Loyamba : Purch Finch
Dzina la sayansi: Carpodacus purpureus
Scientific Family: Fringillidae
Maonekedwe:
- Bill : Wokongola, wofiirira kapena wokalamba
- Kukula kwake : mainchesi 6 m'litali ndi mapiko a masentimita 10, kumanga kokongola, khungu kakang'ono kamene sikamawonekere nthawi zonse
- Maonekedwe : Ofiira, ofiira, oyera, pinki, ophulika
- Zizindikiro : Dimorphic mitundu. Amuna ali ndi mutu wofiira kwambiri, chifuwa ndi chifuwa chotsuka mwamphamvu pamsana ndi mapiko. Chovalachi chimakhala chachikulu kwambiri. Zovalazo zimakhala zoyera ndi kusamba pamaso ndipo zingasonyeze mitsinje yofiirira, ngakhale kuti chiwerengero cha mitsinje imasiyanasiyana ndipo sichitha kuzinyamula. Masikiti obiriwira amaunikira maso ndi masaya. Azimayi samasowa wofiira aliyense koma ali ndi mutu wolimba kwambiri ndi mikwingwirima yofiirira pa korona ndi mdima wandiweyani wonyezimira. Mphuno zawo zonse zimakhala zofiira kapena zofiira, ndipo akazi amakhala ndi zofiira zofiirira pazoyera kapena zamphepete. Zina zazimayi zimasonyeza kusamba kofiira pamtunda wawo. Amuna onse awiri ali ndi mapiko awiri olepheretsa mapiko, maso akuda ndi miyendo yamdima ndi miyendo.
Amuna amawoneka ofanana ndi achikulire akazi, koma ndi miyendo ya palera ndi ndalama ya paler.
Zakudya: Mbewu, zipatso, tizilombo ( Onani: Zokongola )
Habita ndi Kusamukira:
Nsalu zamitundu yosiyanasiyana zimakonda kutsegula coniferous kapena mixing coniferous ndi nkhalango zakuda, ngakhale kuti zikhoza kupezeka m'mphepete mwa nkhalango, m'mapaki ndi m'midzi. Zambiri za m'nyengo ya chilimwe zimachokera ku dera lozungulira la Canada kupita kumpoto kwa Minnesota ndi Michigan.
M'nyengo yozizira, mbalamezi zimasamukira kummwera ndi kum'mwera kwa United States, koma sizipezeka kum'mwera kwa Florida. Anthu ambiri amakhala pakati pa nyanja ziwiri za Great Lakes kupita ku New England ndi Newfoundland, ndipo anthu omwe amatha chaka chonse amapezeka ku Pacific Coast kuchokera ku Washington mpaka kumwera kwa California. M'nyengo yozizira, mbalamezi zimatha kukhala zowononga ndipo zimawoneka bwino kuchokera pazinthu zomwe amayembekezera.
Zolemba:
Chovala chofiirira chimakhala ndi nyimbo yolemera, yolimbana ndi masekondi 2-3 ndipo imakhala yosiyana ndi nthawi. Amuna amayimba kuchokera kumalo osakanikirana pa nyengo yoperekera pamene amalengeza madera awo komanso kupezeka kwa amuna kapena akazi awo. Mndandanda wamakalata wothandizira ndi waufupi wa "tek" kapena "tik" womwe ukhoza kubwerezedwa mobwerezabwereza, ndipo zizindikiro zina ndizolemba "burrrr" ndi mluzu.
Makhalidwe:
Mbalamezi zimakhala zokha kapena zimakhala pawiri panthawi yachisanu, koma zimatha kusonkhana m'nyengo yozizira ndipo zimasonkhanitsa ziweto zazikulu, nthawi zambiri zimasakanikirana ndi zinyama kapena pine siskins . Pamene akudya chakudya, nthawi zambiri amakhala mumtengo kapena amapita pansi kufunafuna mbewu ndi tizilombo.
Kubalanso:
Izi ndi mbalame zosagwirizana kwambiri zomwe zimagonana pambuyo pa milandu yowona bwino yamwamuna wamkazi wokhala ndi kuvina kuthamanga.
Mkaziyo amamanga chisa chosaoneka bwino cha chikho pogwiritsa ntchito nthambi, mizu, makungwa a makungwa, namsongole ndi zinthu zina, kuziphimba ndi zinthu zosavuta monga moss, tsitsi ndi udzu. Chisacho chimakhala pamtengo wapakati pa 540 mamita pamwamba pa nthaka.
Mbalame yaikazi idzaphatikizira anawo kwa masiku 13-14, ndipo achinyamata achikulire amadyetsedwa ndi makolo onse awiri kwa masiku 13-14. Palinso mazira obiriwira, obiriwira kapena obiriwira omwe ali ndi mdima wambiri, ndipo nsapato zofiirira zimatha kukweza 1-2 ana aang'ono pachaka.
Kukopera Ndowa Zachikwama:
Zingwezi zimayenda mofulumira kumbuyo kumbuyo komwe kumapereka mbewu za mpendadzuwa zakuda za mafuta kapena ma mapira mumtsinje kapena zotsegula zotsegula, ndipo amatha kukhala olimbika mtima ndi amodzi atangodzizoloŵera chakudya. Kukhalitsa phulusa ndi mitengo ya elm kungaperekenso chitsimikizo cha mbeu zachilengedwe kuti akope nsalu zofiirira.
Kusungidwa:
Nyemazi sizinayesedwe kuti zimaopsezedwa kapena zowonongeka, koma zikhoza kuwonongedwa ndi chiwonongeko cha malo. Izi zimakhala zovuta kwambiri kumalo osungirako mbeu, kumene mitengo imatha kuchepetsa kwambiri malo okhalapo. Angathenso kutsegula malo osungira mbalame zowonjezera, ndipo anthu akummawa akuwonetsa kuchepa.
