Ubukumkani beentaka eMzantsi Afrika: ukusuka kwiCape Weaver ukuya kwiKori Bustard

Akukho nto “ibhengeza intlakohlaza” ngamandla njengekoloni yeweaverbirds exakekileyo xa yakha iindlwane kwingca ezibanzi nakwi-savanna yaseMzantsi Afrika.

I-Cape weavers zezona zibonakala zixakeke kakhulu, kwaye ngexesha lokuzalana amadoda ewidowbirds, bishops, whydahs, kunye neweavers anxiba imibala eqaqambileyo kakhulu ukutsala amabhinqa.

Ngaphandle kwexesha lokuzalana, iinkunzi ezininzi zibonakala zimdaka njengamaqabane azo amabhinqa. Xa kufika ixesha lokudibana, ziyazihombisa, kuba ibhinqa likhetha indlwane neqabane lokuzala.

Le ndlela yokukhetha inamandla kangangokuba inkunzi yeweaver ingade ichithe indlwane yayo xa ingekho kumgangatho ofunekayo.

Eyona nto inomdla kukuba ukubukela iintaka kunokwenziwa phantse naphi na.

Kwi https://southafrica.co.za/birds.html, iSouth Africa Online inika ulwazi olufundisayo noluneenkcukacha ngeentlobo ezininzi—ezixhaphakileyo nezinqabileyo.

Apho kubonakala amagama afana neAfrican Red-eyed Bulbul, African Black Oystercatcher, African Finfoot, Knysna Turaco, kunye neLilac Breasted Roller.

Eli qonga likwabonisa iinyani ezithe ngqo: iAfrican Jacana imalunga ne-30 cm, kwaye ibhinqa lingaba nkulu ukuya kabini kunenkunzi; iAfrican Purple Swamphen imalunga ne-43 cm; iGoliath Heron imi kwi-1.43 m ngamaphiko afikelela kwi-2 m; iMarabou Stork ifikelela kwi-1.5 m ne-wingspan ye-2.6 m.

Kwakhona kuchazwa ukuba iKori Bustard lelona ntaka ibhabhayo linzima eAfrika (ukuya kwi-19 kg), iMzantsi Afrika uneentlobo ezili-21 zeSunbirds, kunye neentlobo ezili-9 zeWaxbills neBee-eaters.

I-Swift Tern izalela phakathi kukaMatshi no-Okthobha, nto leyo ebonisa ububanzi bolwazi lwale ndawo kubathandi bentaka.
