Kubuhlungu njeKubuhlungu, kodwa akusayi kukwenzakalisa kakhulu.
Ezinye izilwanyana ezityhefayo Siyatyhefa xa sityiwaSitya: Kancinci kwento nganyeSiyatyhefa, asinatyhefu yokuluma okanye yokuhlaba
Ingozi ebantwini: KubuhlunguKunokuba buhlungu ngokwenene, kodwa phantse akusoze kube kubi kakhulu.

The common quail is a small, plump ground-nesting bird. It breeds across Europe and North Africa and spends the winter in Africa and southern India. Its meat can be poisonous, so it is a bird where a little knowledge matters.1

Siyatyhefa okanye sinetyhefu? Izilwanyana ezinetyhefu zitofa ityhefu ngokuluma okanye ngokuhlaba. Izilwanyana ezityhefayo ziyingozi xa uzichukumisa okanye uzitya. Esi siyatyhefa.

Indlela yokusiqaphela

  • A small, compact bird about 16 to 18 cm long1
  • Streaked brown plumage with a white eyestripe1
  • Males have a white chin1
  • Long wings, unlike most game birds1
  • A call of three repeated chirps, and the male's song sounds like 'wet-my-lips'1

Sidla ngokubhidaniswa no: The Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica), native to Asia, looks very similar. Its call is very different from that of the common quail, which is the best way to tell them apart.1

Amandla etyhefu

Siyatyhefa xa sityiwa

Siyingozi kuphela ukuba kukho into esityayo.

Ityhefu yaso etyhefayo (xa usichukumisa okanye usitya) yenza ntoni?

This bird is not venomous. Its meat can be poisonous if the birds have eaten certain plants, although which plants is still debated. The resulting illness, called coturnism, causes muscle soreness and may lead to kidney failure.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Ingozi ebantwini: KubuhlunguKunokuba buhlungu ngokwenene, kodwa phantse akusoze kube kubi kakhulu.

One in four people who eat poisonous quail meat become ill with coturnism. The illness can lead to kidney failure.1

Senza ntoni xa soyika?

When flushed, it keeps low and soon drops back into cover. It would rather creep away than fly.1

Ukuba umntu usichukumisile okanye usityile

  • Ukuba umntu usityile okanye uneempawu emva kokusitya: tsalela inombolo kaxakeka okanye iziko lezityhefu (poison centre) ngoko nangoko.

Soloko utsalela inombolo kaxakeka kuqala (112, 000, 911). Esi sisikhokelo soncedo lokuqala ngokubanzi, asilocebiso lwezonyango. Iziseko zoncedo lokuqala

Hlala ukhuselekile

  • Ungaze uchukumise, ubambe okanye uqhule isilwanyana sasendle, nokuba sincinci, kwaye nokuba sibonakala silele okanye sifile.
  • Sinike indawo. Ukuba udibana naso, hlala uzolile, buyela umva kancinci kwaye usiyeke sihambe ngendlela yaso.
  • Ukuba usichukumisile okanye usityile: musa ukukhuhla amehlo okanye umlomo wakho, hlamba izandla zakho kwaye ufumane uncedo lwezonyango.

Asikuzingeli. Ityhefu yaso ikhona nje ukuze kungabikho nto isityayo. Okungakumbi malunga nokuhlala ukhuselekile
