Tumbusi au tai mzoga ni ndege wakubwa katika familia Accipitridae ambao hula mizoga. Wana mnasaba na tai. Huko Amerika kuna ndege wafananao na tumbusi, lakini wale hawana mnasaba sana na huwekwa katika familia Cathartidae. Tumbusi huvumbua mizoga kwa macho, lakini wale wa Marekani wananusa vizuri pia.
Spishi nyingi za tumbusi zina kichwa bila manyoya. Sifa bainifu hii imekua kuzuia manyoya ya kichwa yasichafuliwe kwa damu wakati tumbusi akiingiza kichwa chake ndani ya mzoga. Kichwa wenye upara kinaweza kusafishwa kwa urahisi ndani ya mto au ziwa.
