UKUBALULEKILE
I-parakeet ephakathi enobude bomzimba bufika ku-36 cm nesisindo kufika ku-170 gr. Isimo somzimba sidilizwa phansi, ikhanda lincane, uqhwaku lukhudlwana. Umbala ugqamile - ikhanda, isifuba nesisu kubomvu igazi. Izihlathi, izimpaphe zamaphiko kanye nomsila kuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka. Ingemuva imnyama, ezinye izimpaphe zamaphiko zinomngcele obomvu, umbala omhlophe. Ayikho i-dimorphism yocansi, kodwa abesilisa bavame ukuba bakhulu kunabesifazane futhi banoqhwaku olukhulu kakhulu. 6 subspecies zaziwa, ezahlukene izakhi umbala. Ezinye izinhlobo ezingaphansi zingazalana ngempumelelo zinikeze inzalo evundile. Ubude besikhathi sokuphila ngokunakekelwa okufanele cishe iminyaka eyi-10 - 15.
INDAWO YOKUHLALA KANYE NEMPILO ENDALO
Kuye nge-subspecies, bahlala eningizimu nasempumalanga ye-Australia, kanye naseziqhingini eziseduze. Ezifundeni ezisenyakatho, ama-rosella abomvu athanda amahlathi asezintabeni, emaphethelweni amahlathi ashisayo, namahlozi kagamthilini. Eningizimu, izinyoni zincamela ukuhlala emahlathini avulekile, zibambezeleke zibheke ezindaweni zamasiko. Lolu hlobo lungabizwa ngokuthi luhlezi, nokho, ezinye izizwe zinganyakaza. Izinyoni ezincane zivame ukuhlangana emhlambini onomsindo ofika kubantu abangaba ngu-20, kuyilapho izinyoni ezindala zihlala ngamaqembu amancane noma ngamapheya. Izinyoni ziwumfazi oyedwa. Ngokusho kocwaningo lwakamuva, lezi zinyoni zinquma ama-subspecies ngephunga. Futhi iqiniso lokuthi ama-hybrids phakathi kwe-subspecies amelana kakhulu nezifo kunezinhlobo ezihlanzekile. Amakati, izinja, kanye nezimpungushe kwezinye izifunda izitha zemvelo. Ngokuvamile, abesifazane bohlobo olufanayo babhubhisa ama-clutch omakhelwane babo. Zidla ikakhulukazi imbewu yezitshalo, izimbali, imiqumbe ye-eucalyptus nezinye izihlahla. Zibuye zidle izithelo namajikijolo, kanye nezinye izinambuzane. Iqiniso elithakazelisayo ukuthi izinyoni azihlanganyeli ekuhlakazweni kwembewu yezitshalo, njengoba zihlafuna imbewu. Esikhathini esidlule, lezi zinyoni zazivame ukubulawa abalimi, njengoba zazilimaza ingxenye enkulu yezitshalo.
UKUZALWA
Isikhathi sokuzalanisa singo-August-January noma February. Imvamisa, ukuze kube nesidleke, umbhangqwana ukhetha imbobo ezihlahleni zikagamthilini ekuphakameni okungafika ku-30 m. Khona-ke umbhangqwana ujulisa isidleke ngesayizi oyifunayo, uhlafuna izinkuni ngoqhwaku futhi umboze ngaphansi ngama-chips. Insikazi izalela amaqanda ayisi-6 esidlekeni bese iwafukamela yodwa. Eyeduna iyondla sonke lesi sikhathi futhi igada isidleke, ixosha izimbangi. I-incubation ihlala izinsuku ezingaba ngu-20. Amatshwele azalwa embozwe phansi. Ngokuvamile abesifazane abaningi bayachamisela kunabesilisa. Ezinsukwini eziyisi-6 zokuqala, insikazi kuphela idla amatshwele, eyeduna ijoyina ngemva kwalokho. Emasontweni ama-5 ziyabaleka futhi zishiye isidleke. Isikhathi esithile basahlala nabazali babo ababondlayo. Futhi kamuva aduka abe imihlambi yezinyoni ezifanayo. Ngezinyanga ezingu-16, baba nezimpaphe zabantu abadala futhi bavuthwe ngokobulili.
