Kuzumburu au pasa ni ndege wa familia Coliidae. Spishi zote zinatokea Afrika chini ya Sahara. Ndege hawa ni wadogo kadiri na wana mkia mrefu na kishungi kichwani. Rangi yao ni kijivu au kahawia. Huenda kwa makundi matawini kwa miti wakitafuta majani, maua na matunda ya kulika. Mwenendo huu unafanana ule wa panya na kwa sababu hiyo waitwa “mousebirds” (ndege-panya) kwa Kiingereza na majina yanayofanana kwa lugha nyingine. Kuzumburu hujenga matago kwa vitawi yenye umbo wa kikombe ambayo yamefunikwa ndani kwa manyasi. Jike huyataga mayai 2-4 na kinda huondoka tago baada ya muda mfupi tu.
