Info Burung Kicauan

Dahulu burung ini sangat murah harganya, bahkan banyak para toko burung yang menjual burung robin ini, karena selain harganya murah ( pada saat itu ) burung ini sangat mudah beradaptasi dengan pemiliknya dan cepat berkicau, memang burung ini termasuk burung langka di indonesia dikarenakan setahu saya burung ini termasuk burung import dari asia. Pada tahun 1990 an burung Robin ini sangat dikenal oleh masyarakat pehobi burung Indonesia Khususnya, namun akhir-akhir ini burung tersebut seakan hilang dari peredaran kicau mania. 

Burung Robin ini merupakan burung yang periang dan paling dikenal, ia akan membuat sarang dari ranting dan akar-akar yang dilapisi terlebih dahulu dengan lumpur dalam membuat rumah mereka di alamnya. Setiap pagi atau malam dan waktu subuh burung ini sudah mulai berkicau dengan kerasnya, tak heran pada masa itu banyak sekali pehobi burung lebih menyukai Burung jenis ini karena disamping mudah merawatnya dan murah harga, robin ini baik jantan dan betina sama-sama ngocehnya dan sama gacornya.( Ngerol ), dan untuk perawatannya pun sangatlah mudah dan tidak sulit, sama seperti burung-burung lainnya.

Makanan burung robin ini adalah, voor biasa, jangkrik, kroto serta buah-buahanpun akan dimakannya. Sampai pada akhir-akhir ini jika ada burung Robin ini harganya pun sudah mencapai ratusan ribu rupiah, mungkin dikarenakan burung robin tersebut sudah susah didapat di pasaran. Baik para pecinta burung dan para kicau mania ini sekedar mengingatkan kembali kepada kita, bahwa ada salah satu burung kecil yang sangat rajin berkicau dan tidak gampang stres yaitu BURUNG ROBIN.

Continuing our all-day boat cruise through Kenai Fjords National Park, begun with this post from last month...

As we cruised onward to the glacier we were scheduled to visit, the wildlife we encountered both on land and in the surrounding water changed subtly. Captain Tim (shown above, standing on the bridge) gave the passengers an informative narration, pointing out interesting features of the landscape, telling us some of the history of the region, and predicting what we'd be seeing up ahead.

We saw one or two other sightseeing boats as we sailed along. It was nice to know that the captains of the various vessels share their sightings with one another. Cooperation seemed to be the rule rather than the exception, which was refreshing.

We saw several black bears and a few, more distant, browns. This large black bear just stood still and watched as we went past. His photograph was captured by at least 100 cameras, of all makes and sizes. He was close enough that cellphone cameras were sufficient. Even though I've spent thousands of hours in areas in the East where black bears are common, this was my best look ever at one.

We saw a couple of large gatherings of Steller's sea lions, including a few individuals that had been branded with numbers by wildlife officials or researchers. This large seal species inhabits the northern Pacific coastlines, but it is critically endangered having suffered huge population declines in recent decades.


Captain Tim invited Julie and me into the pilot house after he heard us calling out a lot of bird IDs. The view from up high was spectacular and it was really nice to be out of the chilly wind.


As we got nearer to the glacier the captain was in radio contact with other vessels asking where the best ice-free passage was. It was so calm and quiet deep in the narrow fjord that we could hear floating ice clunking against the boat's hull. Many Titanic jokes were made, though not by the captain and crew. We saw several large chunks of the glacier fall away and into the water—something referred to as calving.

Pigeon guillemots were easy to see, swimming, flying past, and even hitching a ride on an island of ice.

Three ducks flew past so fast and low that I couldn't get an easy ID with my binocs. I snapped a few photos with my camera, hoping that I caught the birds. I looked at my camera's playback screen, and whaddayaknow! Harlequin ducks! Sweet.

There were other birds, seen in singly and in pairs, that were hard-to-identify distant dots on the water's surface. Auklets? Murrelets? Hmmm. We'll revisit these tiny mysteries in part III of this journey.

Tengu berhidung panjang seperti dikenal orang zaman sekarang merupakan hasil penggambaran orang pada abad pertengahan. Dalam cerita Konjaku Monogatari-shū, tengu digambarkan bisa berlari di udara, dan sebagai hantu berbentuk burung rajawali yang membuat orang kerasukan. Penggambaran tersebut diperkirakan mengambil model dari hantu Temma dalam konsep agama Buddha yang digambarkan berbadan manusia dan memiliki sepasang sayap.

Model awal tengu kemungkinan berubah pada paruh pertama zaman Muromachi. Dalam kumpulan cerita rakyat Otogizōshi terdapat cerita Tengu no Dairi (Istana Tengu) yang tokoh utamanya bernama Kurama Tengu. Selain itu, Ushiwakamaru dikabarkan menerima pelajaran seni pedang dari Tengu di Kuil Kurama. Dalam Hikayat Heike, tengu digambarkan seperti "Manusia tapi tidak seperti manusia, burung tapi tidak seperti burung, anjing tapi tidak seperti anjing, tangan dan kakinya seperti tangan dan kaki manusia, wajahnya seperti anjing, memiliki sayap di kanan kiri, dan bisa terbang."
