Amagama ajwayelekile:
I-starling, i-European Starling, i-Common Starling, i-English Starling
Igama lesayensi:
Sturnus vulgaris.
Umsuka:
Izinkanyezi zizalwa eYurophu, kodwa zaziswa eNyakatho Melika ngasekupheleni kwawo-1800. Izibalo zasendle zase-European Starlings manje sezibhalwe kuzo zonke izifundazwe zase-United States naseThanada Territory.
Usayizi:
I-European Starlings ikhule ibe ngamasentimitha angu-10 ubude kusukela emlonyeni kuya emathanjeni eminweba yomsila.
Isilinganiso sempilo yokuphila:
Iminyaka engu-15 - 20.
Isimiso:
Izinkanyezi ziyasebenza, izinyoni zenhlalo ezithanda ukuchitha isikhathi nabanikazi babo. I-Pet European Starlings iyaziwa ngokubambisana eduze nabanakekeli babo futhi ifuna ukuba nabo. Izinkanyezi zonke zihlakaniphile njengezinye izinhlobo zezinyoni zezilwane ezivamile, futhi zingafunda nokukhuluma. Ngokusho kwabanye, ama-Starlings angakwazi ngisho nokukhuluma kangcono kunama-parrots! Labo abafuna ukugcina i-Starling yezilwane kumele balungiselelwe isilwane esinobuciko, esihlakaniphile nesisetshenziswayo.
Imibala:
Ama-starling asebekhulile asemnyama kakhulu, futhi izinguquko zembala ezicashile zenzeka ngaphakathi kwemifula yazo unyaka wonke. Phakathi nezinyanga zasehlobo nasehlobo, izimpaphe ezisenhloko nesifuba zithatha ama-hues amahle kakhulu e-purple and green, ngenkathi ezinyangeni ezinzima izinhlanzi zabo zakha amathiphu amahle amhlophe, noma "izinkanyezi". Izingane ezincane zivame ukuba umbala obomvu kuze kube yilapho ziqubuzela emanzini abo abadala.
Ukudla:
Endle, i-European Starlings ijabulela izinambuzane ezihlukahlukene njengomthombo wazo wokudla. Ngenxa yalokhu, ukudla okudalwa yizinyoni zezinyoni, ngisho nalabo okubhekiswe kumazinyo, akuzona ukudla okunempilo okwanele kwezinkanyezi. Izilwane eziphilayo ezinomsoco futhi ezide kakhulu kunazo zonke i-Starlings zidla ukudla okwenziwe ngabanikazi bazo ekhaya.
Kungcono ukuthi abanikazi be-Starling bangase bajwayelane nesimiso esihle, sokudla okunomsoco esiphundu se-Starling.
Ukuzivocavoca:
Izinkanyezi zijabulela ukuzikhandla, futhi zidinga ukuzivocavoca okufanele ukuze uhlale esimweni esiphakeme. Izinkanyezi azikhuphuki njengama-parrots enza, ngakho-ke ukuzivocavoca kwazo okuningi kuvela endizeni yamahhala. Kubalulekile ukuthi abanikazi be-Starling baqaphele ukuthi ukunqamuka kwephiko akuyona inketho yalezi zinyoni. Ukuze i-Starling ibe nenempilo, kufanele uyihlinzeke nge-cage enkulu yezindiza, ukuze inethuba lokusebenzisa amaphiko ayo. Kuphakanyiswa kakhulu ukuthi ama-Starlings avunyelwe ubuncane bamahora angu-1 kuya kwangu-2 eqondiswa mahhala ngaphandle kwesikhala nsuku zonke, endaweni "ekhonjiswe ngezinyoni".
I-European Starlings njengezilwane ezifuywayo:
Iningi lezinkomo ezisenyakatho eNyakatho Melika zaziyizingane zasendle ezaziyizintandane, zawa ezidlekeni zazo, noma zalahlwa ngumama ngesizathu esithile. Nakuba ziyisilwane esingavamile, labo ababelana ngezimpilo zabo ne-Starling bathi ukuboshwa kwabo nezinyoni zabo kunamandla njengalabo abanikazi bezinhlobo ezivamile ezibikayo.
Ngenkathi uMthetho Wokuguquka Kwezinyoni Ezifudukayo uvikela izinyoni zasendle ekuphazamiseni kwabantu, i-European Starling ingenye yezinhlobo ezintathu ezifakiwe. Lokhu kusho ukuthi akekho umthetho wesifundazwe ovimbela abantu ukuthi bangahlali be-Starling njengesilwane, kodwa-ke, abanikazi abanamakhono bayakhuthazwa ukuba bahlole ama-ejensi abo abalawulayo asekhaya kanye nabendawo basekhaya ukuze bafunde nganoma yimiphi imithetho endaweni yabo.
Uma uba umzali wezintandane Starling baby, kuzodingeka uqonde ukuthi wenza ukuzibophezela impilo yonke. Izinkanyezi zingaphila iminyaka engaba ngu-20, futhi awukwazi nje ukuyikhipha emuva endle uma ukhathele ukunakekelwa. Uma lezi zinyoni zifakwe kumuntu onakekela abantu, (okwenzeka ngokushesha kakhulu uma ziphatheka ngezandla njengezingane) ngeke zikwazi ukujoyina umhlambi wezilwane, ngeke zikwazi ukuthi zihlobene kanjani nezinye izinyoni, futhi ngeke zikwazi ukuthi zingakanani ukuzingela ukudla.
Ukuze uthole ulwazi oluthe xaxa ngokukhulisa i-European Starlings, qiniseka ukuthi uvakashela i-Starling Talk, insiza engcono kakhulu kuwebhu ukuthola ulwazi ekunakekeleni nokugcinwa kwezinkomo ze-pet Starlings.
