Description

The Australian wall of nales blanques or Maluro de nales blanques (Malurus leucopterus) is a species of passerine bird of the Maluridae family.Nes grebes live centru d'zones of Australia,dende l'interior of Queensland and South Australia to Western Australia.Like other Australians,this species has a sexual dimorphism marcáu.Nel unu grupu social esiben one or more males plumaxe of vivu coloríu mientres station cortexu In general,it has an intense blue body,white stems and a black peak.The femes,smaller than the males,are colored with a soft moody tail rays of blue glue.The new adult males are almost indistinguishable from the femes,even if the breeding males were cut.For that reason,the strips of white walruses in spring and spring consist of old-fashioned males with vivid colors accompanied by minor colored individuals,some of which are males.Three subspecies are recognized.More than the continental subspecies there is an island Dirk Hartog and another island Barrow na mariña occidental d'Australia.The males of these island subspecies have cortexu plumages of color closer to the black than to the blue.Murar de nales blanques are mainly insectivores,complementing the diet with small fruits and biltos of fueyes.Meet in zones of parrotal and carba grebes onde plantes baxes apurren-yos cobertoria.As the other species of soxéneru breed in a cooperative way and the small groups defend the territories where they live.The groups consist of a monogamous pareya with individual helpers who cooperate in breeding the chickens.These assistants are the relatives of the couple,who got the sexual maturity but who remain as a family group for a year or more.Although it was not genetically confirmed,it is likely that they were promiscuous as other mothers.As part of the bridal stop Machu usually tosses flower petals and shows in front of femes.With an Australian llargor d'11 and 13.5 cm of nales blanques and one of the smallest species of the xerneru Malurus.Males usually weigh between 7.2 g and 10.9 g when femes weigh between 6.8 g and 11 g.The picu is relatively llargu,with a mediu of the picu of 8.5 mm males and 8.4 femes,being narrow and apuntia and more broad base.The picu has more anchor than a leaf and is similar to the other birds that are stinging or looking for insects.This species is more finous and shows that the rest of the Australian coast.Adult dafechu desenvueltos present sexual dimorphism,being the largest and most distinctive male males that females.Adult femes are light colored blue color pale blue glue and pink peacock cream.The males with plumage of cortexu have the black picu,nales and white coastlines,the rest of the cobalt or black blue body (depending on the subspecies to which it belongs).This contrast white colom gums becomes more evident during the voyage or exhibitions in it suelu from the bridal stop.The males with post- nuptial plumage retain the femes,even though they may be more skeptical.Both sexes have llargues,espodaes and conspicuous cabbages that have elevations.The tail measures around 6.25 cm and has plumes with a white blanc that adds up time.Chickens and xuveniles have a brownish plume and brownish peaks and cabbages more curties than adults.The new males develop blue plumes in the tail and sharper peaks at the end of the first branch of the seronda (three the breeding station),since the femes acquire blue-colored cabbages.In the following spring,the males are fertile and develop canesbes around the cloaca qu'almacenen espelma.Pela so part mientres the breeding season they operate Arees fertile Femes edematusas d'incubation,consisting na nuna area so bare belly,llamaes plaques d'incubation.The males,on entering the second or third year,unfold during the breeding period a blue and white plumage.And when they reach the fourth year,they acquire the definitive nuptial feathers,the scapular plumes and the feather of vuelu secondaries and terciaries of the whites and the rest of the body of a brilliant cobalt blue.Male adult males change their feathers twice a year,a hibiernu or spring before the breeding season and another na seronda;rarely a machu

lesbarbules.The blue plume also reflects the ultraviolet rain since the vision of color extends to this part of the spectrum,possibly more than the rest of the wall.Songs and claims: In 1980,Tideman,characterized five pattern of calls among the Malurus leucopterus leuconotus;these were also recognized by Pruett and Jones as an island subspecies M.l.edouardi.The main call is a song that allows both sexes to claim the territory and unify the group.There is a long song with notes that go on and off,which first and will signal with 3 to 5 " chip ".Anque apparently weak the soniu comes llueñe entre les carbes baxes.Use a strong call « trit»To establish contact (especially between mothers and children) and a voice of alarm that is characterized by a series of loud and abrupt calls that vary in frequency and intensity.Adults sing in a high and sharp way and can interpolate it with songs to put in contact with birds that are more distant.The chickens and femes around the nest pían,faen pitíos altos and llama curties.Adult femes will also emit garish calls.Chickens love to feed when they are fed.The assistants and the food can also be faisoniu.
