Kwenzi

**Kwenzi** au **kuzi** ni ndege wadogo kiasi wa familia Sturnidae. Spishi nyingine zinaitwa kizole au nyangala. Wanatokea Ulaya, Afrika, Asia na Australia. Baadhi ya spishi zimewasilishwa katika Amerika ya Kaskazini, Nyuzilandi na Afrika. Wanapenda kuwa kwa makundi. Spishi nyingi zina rangi ya buluu, pengine pamoja na rangi kali kama nyekundu, machungwa na njano; spishi nyingine ni nyeusi, kijivu au kahawia, pengine pamoja na nyeupe, njano, nyekundu au pinki. Sauti yao ina utata na huiga sauti za mazingira, kama ndege wengine, kamsa za magari na hata msemo wa binadamu. Ndege hawa hula wadudu na matunda hasa, lakini hula nusra kila kitu. Takriban spishi zote hulijenga tago lao katika tundu. Jike huyataga mayai 2-6 meupe au buluu.
