ʻO ka hiʻohiʻona o nā kalo kani
He mau manu liʻiliʻi kēia, nani loa a nani. ʻO 30 - 50 cm ka lōʻihi. ʻO kahi hiʻohiʻona hiʻohiʻona o kēia ʻano o nā parrots he huelo lōʻihi wāwae. Nui ka nuku, he poepoe kona ano. ʻO ka waihoʻoluʻu o ka hulu he ʻōmaʻomaʻo ka nui, akā ʻo kahi kaula e like me ka lei e kū aʻe a puni ka ʻāʻī (i kekahi mau ʻano, ua like ia me ke kaula). ʻOkoʻa ke kala o nā kāne mai ke kala o nā wahine, akā loaʻa i nā manu ke kala makua wale nō i ka wā o ka wā ʻōpio (e 3 mau makahiki). He lōʻihi nā ʻēheu o kēia mau kalo (e pili ana i 16 knm) a ʻoi. Ma muli o ka pōkole a nāwaliwali o nā wāwae o kēia mau manu, pono lākou e hoʻohana i ko lākou nuku ma ke ʻano he kolu i ko lākou hele ʻana ma ka honua a piʻi paha i nā lālā lāʻau.
Noho a me ke ola ma ka nahelehele
ʻO ka noho ʻana o nā kākā kani ʻia ʻo ʻApelika Hikina a me ʻAsia Hema, ʻoiai ua hoʻoneʻe ʻia kekahi mau ʻano i ka mokupuni ʻo Madagaskar a me Australia, kahi i hoʻololi maikaʻi ʻia ai nā kākā kani a hoʻomaka lākou e hoʻoneʻe i nā ʻano manu maoli. ʻOi aku ka makemake o nā parrots Ringed e noho i nā ʻāina moʻomeheu a me nā ululāʻau, hana i nā ʻohana. Hānai lākou i ke kakahiaka a me ke ahiahi, a laila lele maikaʻi i kahi wai. A ma waena o ka ʻai ʻana, hoʻomaha lākou, e noho ana ma luna o nā kumu lāʻau i nā lau paʻa. ʻO ka meaʻai nui: nāʻanoʻano a me nā hua o nā mea kanu ulu a me nā mea hihiu. Ma keʻano he kūlana, i ka wā hānau, waiho ka wahine i 2 a 4 mau hua a hoʻoulu i nā moa, aʻo ke kāne e hānai iā ia a mālama i ka pūnana. Hānau ʻia nā moa ma hope o 22 - 28 mau lā, a ma hope o kekahi 1,5 - 2 mahina haʻalele lākou i ka pūnana. ʻO ka mea maʻamau, hana ʻia e nā ʻaka kani i 2 mau keiki i kēlā me kēia kau (i kekahi manawa 3).
ʻO ka mālama ʻana i nā parrots apo
Ua kūpono kēia mau manu no ka mālama hale. Hoʻopili koke lākou, ola lōʻihi, hiki ke hoʻololi i ka pio. Hiki ke aʻo ʻia iā lākou e ʻōlelo i kekahi mau huaʻōlelo a i ʻole nā ʻōlelo. Eia nō naʻe, pono ʻoe e hoʻokau i kahi drawback: he leo ʻoi a maikaʻi ʻole lākou. Uuu kekahi mau kalo. Ma muli o ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana, mai 12 a 16 mau ʻano i hāʻawi ʻia i ka genus.
