Yini engadla idada lasendle: ukudla okuyinhloko kwamadada emvelweni

Abantu abaningi babiza idada lasendle ngokuthi i-mallard. Le nyoni ingeyomndeni wamahansi. Lezi zinyoni zibhekwa njengenyoni ekwazi ukufuduka ngezikhathi ezithile zonyaka. I-mallard ihlala eduze kwamachibi amancane noma amaxhaphozi. Ichitha ubusika lapho ihlala khona ehlobo. Amadada asendle, kanye nezinye izinyoni zasendle, ayizisulu ezithandwayo phakathi kwabazingeli nganoma yisiphi isikhathi sonyaka.

Iyini le nyoni yasendle?

Lapho uchaza i-mallard, kubalulekile ukunaka izimpawu zayo zangaphandle nemisindo ekwazi ukuyenza ngezikhathi ezahlukene zonyaka. Ake siqale ukuchaza le nyoni ngombala nobukhulu bayo. Unakho impela izilinganiso ezihlaba umxhwele. Unekhanda elikhulu nomsila omfushane. Ubude bomzimba wensikazi neyeduna busuka kumasentimitha angamashumi amahlanu amancane kuya kwamashumi ayisithupha nanhlanu.

Umuntu ovuthiwe unesilinganiso samaphiko esiphakathi kwamasentimitha angamashumi ayisishiyagalombili nanhlanu kuya kwayikhulu. Ubude bamaphiko ezinsikazi namadrake buhlukile. Kumuntu wesifazane, kungaba amasentimitha angamashumi amabili nesithupha kuya kwamashumi amabili nesishiyagalolunye, futhi enyoni yesilisa, ukusuka kumasentimitha angamashumi amabili nesishiyagalombili kuya kumasentimitha angamashumi amathathu nanye. Idada lasendle linesisindo esincane. Isisindo sawo siyahlukahluka kusuka kumakhulu ayisishiyagalombili amagremu kuya kumakhilogremu amabili.

Kuye ngobulili babantu ngabanye umbala woqhwaku uhlukile. Kumadrake, ngesikhathi sokukhwelana, uqhwaku luqinile futhi lupendwe ngamathoni amnyama. Kumuntu omdala, umbala woqhwaku nawo uyahlukahluka: okumpunga okumnyama okunomphetho osawolintshi emaphethelweni, noma osawolintshi ngokuphelele. Ezisikazi zinesici esihlukile ngesimo samachashaza ambalwa ekugcineni koqhwaku.

Kuma-mallards, njengakwezinye izinhlobo eziningi zezinyoni zasendle, phakathi nenkathi yokukhwelana, umbala wezimpaphe uyashintsha ngokobulili.

• Amaduna athola izimpaphe ezinhle ezicwebezelayo ukuze adonse ukunaka kwabesifazane.
• Ku-drake, izimpaphe ekhanda zithola i-emerald hue, futhi intamo ifakwe ikhola emhlophe.
• Ingemuva linombala onsundu ngokumpunga nokufaka okuncane okumnyama. Ngasemsileni, umbala wophaphe ngemuva uba mnyama, nomsila umnyama ngokuphelele. Isisu samadada simpunga, nebele linsundu.

Amaphiko alezi zinyoni nawo anombala ogqamile. Ngenhla ubuswa imithunzi empunga, futhi emaphethelweni, umbala ompunga uphenduka u-gamut onsomi omnyama. Ngaphakathi uphiko lumhlophe qwa. Umsila unenani elincane lezimpaphe zomsila, eziba mnyama ngokukhula. Uphaphe olusele emsileni lumpunga. Ehlobo, drakes molt futhi babe njengabesifazane. Zonke izinyoni zithola umbala onsundu wezimpaphe ehlobo. Kodwa noma kunjalo kukhona isici esisodwa esihlukanisayo. Ungakwazi ukuhlukanisa idrake kowesifazane ngombala ogqamile woqhwaku kanye nebele elinsundu kakhulu. Imilenze yeduna ibomvu futhi ineziphetho ezinolwembu.

Abesifazane, ngokungafani nabesilisa, abashintshi umbala phakathi nonyaka. Ekufakweni kombala kophaphe kwabesifazane, kugqama imibala ensundu, ebomvu nemnyama. Kwabesifazane, umzimba wonke umbozwe ngezimpaphe ezinjalo futhi lo mbala ojwayelekile wabo bonke abamele izinyoni zomfula. Izimpaphe ezingenhla nangaphansi komsila zinombala obomvu-omhlophe. Isifuba sabo sinombala osagolide, umugqa okhanyayo udlula emehlweni. Izidladla azikhanyi njengalezo zamadrake. Zinombala osawolintshi ophaphathekile. Amatshwele amadada asendle, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi angobulili bani, abukeka njengonina.

Ngingathanda ukukutshela okwengeziwe mayelana nemisindo eyenziwa yizinyoni. Njengomthetho, emvelweni, le nyoni ayenzi umsindo omkhulu, kodwa ithule ngokuthula, ngaphandle kokuheha ukunaka kwayo. Izinsikazi zenza udaka njengamadada afuywayo, futhi ama-drakes esikhundleni sika-“quack” ajwayelekile enza “shaaak”. Lapho inyoni yethukile, lo msindo uzwakala kakhulu. Lapho izwi lakhe likhuphuka, izwi lakhe liyashesha futhi lithule. Ngesikhathi semidlalo yokukhwelana, izwi lensikazi liya phezulu, libiza owesilisa. Nabo-ke baphendule ngekhwela elide.

Adlani amadada asendle

Lezi zinyoni, njengezinye izinyoni eziningi zasemfuleni, zijwayela ngokuphawulekayo futhi ngokushesha endaweni yazo endle. Bayadla eduze namanzi angashoni. Zithola ukudla kwazo ngokukhama izitshalo nama-crustaceans amancane nezinambuzane emanzini ngoqhwaku lwazo. Ngokuyisisekelo, lezi zinyoni zidla ukudla kwezitshalo futhi azinqabi izinambuzane, izinhlanzi ezincane, ama-tadpoles nama-crustaceans.

• Inyoni emvelweni ngokwayo ingakhetha ukuthi idle ini. Ngokuvamile ungabona indlela le nyoni ehlisela ngayo ikhanda layo emanzini, nomsila wayo uphezulu. Ngakho, uthola ubumnandi obuthandayo ezansi nechibi. Amadamu anokujula okungamasentimitha angama-40-50 afaneleka ukukhishwa kokudla kwedada lasendle. Lapho inyoni ithola ukudla kwayo phansi.
• Ekuqaleni kwentwasahlobo, lapho amanzi esaba yiqhwa futhi kungekho ndawo yokuthola ukudla, izinyoni ezihlakaniphile zithanda ukudla ukudla kwezitshalo. Ukudla kwayo okuyinhloko yimifino, ehlala phansi ngemva kokuncibilika kweqhwa. Ngalesi sikhathi esinzima, azikho izinambuzane nezinhlanzi.
• Ekuqaleni kobusika, iziqu kanye nembewu yezitshalo ziyadliwa. Maphakathi nehlobo, amajikijolo nezithelo ezihlukahlukene ezivela ezihlahleni nasezihlahleni eziseduze zengezwa otshanini nama-crustaceans.
• Izinyoni ezihlala emachibini aseduze nezindawo zokuhlala abantu ngokuvamile zithola ukudla kuwo.

Ngithanda ukuqaphela ukuthi idada endle liyinyoni emangalisayo, futhi umsebenzi walo obalulekile nendlela elidla ngayo idlala indima ebaluleke kakhulu ekulolongeni ibhalansi yemvelo yezwe lethu. Ehlobo, ngaphezu kokudla kwezitshalo nezilwane okutholwa amadada asendle emanzini, adla inqwaba yezibungu zomiyane. Ngenxa yokuthi amadada abhubhisa inqwaba yezibungu, omiyane abazali ngamanani amakhulu. Ngakho, amadada, ukuthola ukudla kwabo siqu, ukusiza abantu kanye nemvelo.

Kuya ngendawo lapho izinyoni zihlala khona, ukudla kwabo kushintsha kancane. Isibonelo, izinyoni zingadla izitshalo zasendle. Unganqabi i-buckwheat ekhula endle noma ibhali. Amadada angakwazi futhi ukumba izilimo eziyizigaxa zezitshalo eduze namanzi.

Abathandi bezilwane kudingeka bazi ukuthi awukwazi ukondla amadada asendle nganoma yini! Isibonelo, akukhuthazwa ngokuqinile ukondla ngesinkwa. Uma uthanda amadada futhi ufuna ukuwondla ebusika, kungcono ukuletha imvuthuluka yesinkwa esimhlophe noma ukudla okukhethekile kwedada (ungayithenga esitolo sezilwane ezifuywayo). Yazini ukuthi izinyoni zasendle awukwazi ukudla amaswidi noma ama-chips. Izinyoni ezihlala endle zingalinyazwa yimikhiqizo enjalo.

Ungawatholaphi amadada asendle

Ahlala kuphi amadada asendle? Ngifuna ukusho zisuka ukuthi ikakhulukazi amadada emvelweni hlala ezindaweni ezisemaqeleni nasehlathini-asemaqeleni. Kunzima kakhulu ukuthola amadada asendle ezindaweni ezisenyakatho, izintaba nogwadule. Abameleli basendle bomndeni wamadada bahlala ikakhulukazi eduze namachibi amancane anezitshalo eziminyene. Ngeke uthole amadada eduze kwemifula esheshayo noma amachibi anamabhange angenalutho.

Lapho amadada efukamela abantwana, akhetha amadamu lapho kunomhlanga omningi khona futhi amanzi esanda. Ezindaweni ezisemaqeleni amahlathi, idada lihlala emaxhaphozini. Maningi amadada kule ndawo. Idada lasendle alibesabi abantu. Ubufakazi balokhu inani elikhulu kakhulu lamadada echibini lasemadolobheni. Ukuhlala eduze komuntu, amadada akwamukela ngenjabulo ukuphatha abantu.

Ngakho, ngingathanda ukuqaphela ukuthi idada lasendle liyingxenye ebalulekile yesimiso sezinto eziphilayo nendawo yazo ezungezile, futhi ngaphandle kwalokho, lezi zinyoni ziphilisana kahle nabantu futhi ziyasijabulisa.
