He ʻakaʻaka ko New Zealand kea parrots!

Ua hōʻoia kekahi pūʻulu ʻepekema mai New Zealand a me Australia i ka hoʻohana ʻana o nā parrots kea i kekahi trill, e like me ka ʻakaʻaka kanaka. Ma hope o kekahi mau hoʻokolohua, ua ʻike ka poʻe ornithologists e pili ana ka pāʻani ʻana i nā moʻolelo o ka "ʻakaʻaka manu" i ka ʻano o nā parrots New Zealand.

Wahi a kekahi ʻatikala ma Current Biology, ua kōkua nā hoʻokolohua i hana ʻia e nā mea kākau i nā ʻohana kea hihiu i kēia hopena. Ua hoʻopaʻa ka poʻe ʻepekema i kekahi mau ʻano leo i hana ʻia e nā parrots i nā manawa like ʻole. ʻO ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i kahi trill i ka wā o nā pāʻani ikaika e pili ana i ka ʻohana kea ma ke ʻano like: hoʻomaka nā manu e hoʻoweliweli a hakakā ma ke ʻano pāʻani, me ka hōʻike ʻole ʻana i ka huhū maoli.

E like me ka ʻakaʻaka kanaka, lele ka pāʻani trill o nā nestor a pili nui i ka lewa o ke ʻano o ka ʻeke.

Ua hoʻokani ʻia nā ʻano leo 5 i nā parrots, akā ua pane wale nā ​​manu i ka "ʻakaʻaka" me nā pāʻani. ʻO ka mea hoihoi, ʻaʻole pili ka kea i hoʻokani ʻole i ke kea i hoʻokani mua ʻia, akā hoʻomaka ʻo ia i ka naʻaupō me ka leʻaleʻa ʻole o nā manu, a i ʻole ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā mea no ia mea, a i ʻole ka hoʻomaka ʻana e hana i nā keaka acrobatic i ka lewa. ʻO kekahi leo i hoʻāla i ka pāʻani ma waena o nā pūnana, akā ʻaʻole ia i lilo i kono i ka pāʻani, akā hōʻike wale ʻia ma ke ʻano he manaʻo i kēlā me kēia manu.

Hoʻopili ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ke kūlana o ka naʻau, ʻaʻole naʻe i ke ʻano, ʻoiai ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi a paʻa.

Ma hope o ka pāʻani ʻana i ka trill no 5 mau minuke, ua hoʻomaka ke kea i ka naʻaupō a hoʻomau no 5 mau minuke me ka lohe ʻole ʻana i ke kani. ʻO ka nui, he 15 mau minuke ka hoʻokolohua: 5 mau minuke ma mua o ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka "ʻakaʻaka" (i ka wā i waiho ʻia ai nā manu iā lākou iho), 5 mau minuke o ke kani (hoʻomaka ke kea e pupule) a me 5 mau minuke ma hope o ka hoʻokolohua, ua mālie nā ʻaka.

Ma ke ʻano kūlohelohe, ʻo ka lele ʻana i waena o nā manu a me nā holoholona o nā kāne like ʻole e hōʻailona ai i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka hoʻokamakama a me ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka wā hānau. I ka hihia o New Zealand parrots, ʻokoʻa nā mea. Ma hope o ka lohe ʻana i ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana o ka "ʻakaʻaka", ua hōʻike nā kāne a me nā wahine o nā makahiki like ʻole i ka hana ma nā pāʻani comic.

Ua ʻike ʻia ka ʻakaʻaka o nā parrots o Aotearoa e like me ka ʻakaʻaka kanaka a me nā ʻano ʻano ʻē aʻe. Eia kekahi laʻana, he leo ko ka ʻiole e hiki ke kapa ʻia he ʻakaʻaka. Akā ʻo ka hoʻokolohua e hōʻoiaʻiʻo ai i kēia kuhi ʻana, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ke kanaka ma mua o ka hihia o kea. Hoʻomaka pū nā ʻiole e pāʻani a naʻaupō i ka wā i lohe ai lākou i ka "ʻakaʻaka".

I ka wā o nā hoʻokolohua, ua makapō a kuli paha nā holoholona. ʻAʻole i pane ka ʻiole kuli i ka leo i hoʻopuka hou ʻia a ʻaʻole i hōʻike i ka pāʻani, ʻoiai ua loli nui ka ʻano o nā ʻiole makapō: lilo lākou i mea pāʻani a hoʻomaka e hōʻike i kahi ʻano hauʻoli i ko lākou ʻohana.

ʻAʻole pono e huikau ka hiki o nā parrots ke hoʻohālike i ka ʻakaʻaka kanaka me ka trill o "ʻakaʻaka". He mau manu ʻo Parrots e hoʻohālike maikaʻi i nā ʻano leo āpau, akā ʻo ke kope ʻana iā lākou ʻaʻole ia e lawe i kahi ʻano manaʻo, inā ʻo ka trill kahi hōʻike o ka manaʻo o ka manu ponoʻī.
