ʻO ka manu kukupa, kahi e kūkākūkāʻia i kēia lā,ʻo ia ka hānau mua o nā lūlū ma ka honua, i hoʻohana muaʻia me he manuʻai manu ma nā kūlanakauhale o Italia. Ma kaʻatikala, e nānā pono kākou i keʻano o ka manu,ʻo kona mauʻano nui a me nā hiʻohiʻona.
Ka moʻaukala o
ʻO ka lūlū Roma, nona ka nui a me ke kaumaha i kapaʻia he kanaka nunui Roma, uaʻikeʻia ma ka moku o Italia hou i nā makahiki 2,000 ma mua o ko kākou wā. ʻAʻole maopopo i keʻano ma lalo o nāʻano i kohoʻia ai a me nāʻano lālā i hoʻohanaʻia no kēia.
Keʻike neiʻoe? Hiki i nā lūlū ke hana i ka pulu lāʻau nani, e like paha, he'ūpoki hua e hōʻikeʻia ana e ka plumage me nāʻulaʻula, keʻokeʻo a me ka'ōmaʻomaʻo.
ʻO nā mea mua o nā kānaka nunui Roma i nā hanauna o nā manuʻo Carthaginian, he mau'ōlelo hoʻohenehene a me ka'ōlelo Sepania. ʻO ka hanaʻana i nāʻano hou o nā kānaka o ka'āina ua hoʻonāukiuki i kahi koi nui no kaʻiʻo nūnū:ʻo ka poʻe mālama i nā mahi lūlū he mau waiwai nui ka loaʻa. 
I ka manawa ma mua, ua hoʻomakaʻia nā lūlūʻulaʻula ma Greece kahiko,ʻoʻAigupita a me Roma,ʻoiai heʻai punahele a nā poʻe o ka'āina, he mau nūnūʻiʻo ia, a uaʻono lākou i nā meaʻano'ēʻole. He nui nā palapala kahiko kahiko e wehewehe ana i nā mahiʻai o kēlā manawa i kūkala i ka hānauʻana o kēia mau manu.
E heluhelu e pili ana i nā hiʻohiʻona o nā pua nūnū pigeons a me nā lālā maikaʻi loa o ka nunu.
Ua lōʻihi ka manawa o nā mea kolo Roma i hana i nā mea hou. ʻOiaiʻo kēiaʻano i hānaiʻia ma Ancient Roma, ua hanaʻia kahi hana nui e hana ai i nā kānaka nunui Roma i Falani, kahi i hanaʻia ai ka lāhui Pelekania Peleki a me Old German pigeon.
Hōʻike a me nāʻano
E like me nāʻano'ē aʻe, he mau hiʻohiʻona keʻano o nā kānaka nunui Roma, ke kūkulu a me nāʻanoʻano'ē aʻe, e kūkākūkāʻia ma lalo nei. 
Keʻano a me nā kino
ʻO nā mea i kohoʻia no ka hanauna o ka poʻe Roma i haʻiʻia e:
- nui nui oblong;
- e lihi liʻiliʻi ke poʻo me kekahiʻaoʻao kiʻekiʻe loa;
- ka puʻupuʻu nui nui o ka pepa i hanaʻia, ka'āpana'āpana-hina;
- ke kuʻi o ke kino, i māheleʻia i ka hapalua;
- nā makaʻeleʻele;
- nā'ōpū maʻemaʻe;
- kekahi'ā'ī liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi me ka'ā'ī leʻaleʻa;
- pana iki, pahu nui;
- nā'ēheu nui;
- nā pulu'āpana aʻeleʻele o ka lehu uliuli,ʻulaʻula, keʻokeʻo, keʻokeʻo keʻokeʻo;
- ka huelo lōʻihi a me ka huelo;
- pupule pokole.
Eʻike i ka nui o nā lupe e noho ana ma ka home a pehea eʻike ai i ka lūlū mai kahi manu nūnū.
Nāʻano
ʻO nā mea ma lalo o ke kaiwaʻawa Roma:
- Kaona o nā'ōpio i ka makahikiʻeono. Hana 600 g - nā kāne a 500 g - nā wāhine.
- ʻO ke kaumaha o nā mākua he 1400 g no nā kāne a 1200 g no nā wāhine.
- ʻO ke kino o ka poʻe mākua e hiki i 55 knm.
- ʻO ka'ēheu o nā poʻe pakeke he 100 knm.
Nā mea'ē aʻe
ʻO kēiaʻano i pili i nā mea maʻamau, no ka mea i hanaʻia no kaʻaiʻana o ka meaʻai a he pono e neʻe iki i mea e hiki ai ke kūkulu hou i ka nui. ʻAʻole hiki i nā lūlū ke loaʻa i ka maʻi me nā maʻi lūlū maʻamau, no laila, ua koho pinepineʻia lākou e mālamaʻia no nā hana hoʻolimalima. ʻO keʻano o ka manu, heʻokoʻa likeʻole a me ke aloha i ke kanaka.
He mea nui! ʻO ka hua i nīnauʻia,ʻaʻole loa ia e hopohopo a hāʻawi i nā holoholona'ē aʻe a me nā mea pīkoi hoʻi e hele mai, e hoʻonui pinepine ai i ka emi o ka nui o nā poʻo. No laila, i ka mālamaʻana i ka home, e hōʻoia i ka hikiʻole i ka mākua ke komo i loko o ka hale me nā manu.
Ma waena o lākou iho, aia i nā hanana he mau paio, pinepine i ka hopena i nā hakakā. I mea e pale aku ai iā lākou, e mālamaʻia nā manu i loko o nā ākea ākea ākea, i kahi e lawa ai ka manawa o nā mea a pau, a hāʻawi i ka helu kūpono o nā mea hānai. Hoʻokumuʻia nā'āpana e kūkuluʻia ma kahi haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa, no ka mea, aia nā hihia i hina nā manu momona aʻehaʻeha.
Ma muli o kaʻoiaʻiʻo o ka manu e kūʻole nei, he mau momona ka liʻiliʻi. Hiki ke hoʻololiʻia kēia hōʻike ma kahiʻano huhū - hoʻouluulu nā wāhine i nā huaʻai me kaʻoluʻoluʻole, a hoʻopoina pinepine iā lākou ma keʻano o ka hoʻomāhuahuaʻana i nā pilina me ko lākou mau hoalauna. I loko o ka makahiki hoʻokahi wahine hiki ke hana mai i nā moa 6 a 12. 
ʻO ka'anakō Roma ua pili i ka momona ma muli o konaʻano olaʻole, a ua paʻi kēlā me kēiaʻelua o nā manu makua kāne i kēia maʻi. Hoʻomaʻamaʻaʻia nā lūlū i ka nui aʻai nui, no laila, ua maʻalahi lākou i ka waiwai ukana. ʻOiai i ka mālamaʻana i nā manu i ka home, ponoʻoe e koho pono i kaʻai a nānā i ka nui o nā meaʻai i hāʻawiʻia.
He mea pono keʻike i nā maʻi o nā lūlū e like me ka mea weliweli no nā kānaka.
No laila,ʻaʻole e hoʻomauʻia keʻano o ka lupe nunui Roma,ʻoiaiʻo ka wā kahiko o ka pua, a laila hoʻomauʻia i kēia manawa no nā mea hoʻonaninu, a me nā mea kūpono no ka hanaʻana i nāʻano hou.
