Ngā urutaunga me te tautohunga manu

E whakapae ana kei te āhua 209 ngā momo manu whakawhānau i Aotearoa . Me pēhea tātou e mōhio he aha ngā momo manu e mātaitia ana e tātou? He āhuatanga tō ngā mea ora me ngā mea kāore i te ora e wehewehe ai tētahi i tētahi. Mā ēnei āhuatanga e āhei ai tātou te tautohu me te whakarōpū i ngā mea katoa e karapoi ana i a tātou. Ko ētahi o aua āhuatanga he mārama rawa, pērā i te hanga me te rahi o te ngutu, te tae me te rahi katoa o te manu. Ko ētahi kāore e pērā rawa te mārama, pērā i te korihi a te manu, te rahi a ō rātou hua, te tae me ngā rerekētanga i waenga i te uwha me te toa o te momo ōrite.

He aha e manu ai te manu?

Kua whakatauria ngā manu, kei raro i te karangatanga o te Aves, hei mokoweri ora nā runga i ō rātou āhuatanga motuhake. He huruhuru tō ngā manu katoa, he kōiwi anga roto , e rua ngā waewae, e rua ngā parirau, ka ngā, he mahana te toto, ka whakawhānau hēki. He rerekētanga hoki tō ngā manu – he tino rerekē te kiwi i te riroriro, i te kākā rānei. Kei ia manu ōna urutaunga, āhuatanga motuhake rānei e ora ai rātou i te whaitua e noho nei rātou.

Ngā urutaunga motuhake

Ko tētahi urutaunga e rerekē ai te manu i ētahi atu kararehe ko ō rātou huruhuru. He whakahoutanga o te kiri ā-waho, ka mutu, he mea nui hei whakariterite i te pūmahana o te tinana, me te rere anō hoki. Arā ngā momo huruhuru rerekē, he rerekē hoki te mahi a tēnā momo, a tēnā momo. E taea ai e te manu ngā heke tawhiti, ā-whakatere, nui whakaharahara, me ngā nekeneke mīharo. Heoi anō, kua urutautia ētahi manu – pērā i te kiwi, te moa, me te kākāpō – ki te oranga rere kore.

Ko te āhei rere koia te tino āhuatanga ōrite o ngā manu. Ehara i te mea ko te rere pūmau i te āhuatanga o te manu anake; e taea ana hoki e ngā peka me ngā ngārara te rere. Kua whakawhanaketia e ngā manu rere te pūnaha anga kōiwi kōmāmā ahurei me ōna kōiwi hahao. Ko te take o te whaturei manu (furcula) hei kaupare i te pēhanga nui o te poho i te auheke o te rere.

Kāore he niho o te manu – he ngutu kē tā te manu. He tino rerekē te rahi, te hanga me te tae o ngā ngutu puta noa i ngā momo manu rerekē katoa. Ko te kai a te manu me te wāhi noho ai ia e whakatau ai te ahurei o tōna ngutu.

Tautohunga manu

Ka mātaitai ana tātou i ngā manu i te wao nui, me mahara ki ngā āhuatanga e āwhina pea tā tātou tautohu i aua manu. Hei tauira :

• te rahi me te hanga katoa

• te rahi o te ngutu, te tae me te hanga

• te rahi o ngā waewae, te tae me te hanga

• te hanga me te rahi o te parirau

• ngā tae – mehemea hoki he rerekē te tae o te upoko ki tō te tinana

• kei hea rātou e noho ana

• ngā tikang a noho kōhanga (he uaua pea te mātaitanga o tēnei)

• ngā tikanga rere

• te korihi manu.

Mā ētahi o ngā āhuatanga mārama pērā i te rahi, te hanga me te tae e ngāwari ake te tautohu i ētahi o ngā momo e mōhiotia whānuitia ana. He wā anō, mehemea ka kite tātou i te manu kāore e mōhiotia ana e tātou me tuhi kōrero mō te nui o ngā āhuatanga o ngā manu e taea ai hei tautohu i aua manu. Kei ngā paetukutuku pērā i NZ Birds Online, Te Tatauranga o ngā Manu Māra o Aotearoa me te iNaturalist te pūranga ātaahua o ngā āhuiatanga, ngā oro me ngā whakaahuatanga o ngā manu.
