Opholi yizinyoni. Kunezinhlobo ezingaphezu kuka-300. Abanye babo bangalingisa amazwi abantu. Opholi banobuchopho obukhulu ngokwanele, ngakho bayakwazi ukufunda. Ama-parrots ahlanganisa ama-parakeet nama-cockatoos.
Umzimba wale nyoni umile futhi uyasinda. Opholi bathanda okusanhlamvu, amantongomane nezithelo, ngakho uqhwaku lwabo luqinile futhi lugobile. Izimpaphe zezinye izinhlobo zinemibala eminingi ehlukene, kanti ezinye izinhlobo zicishe zibe monochromatic.
Abanye abantu bagcina opholi njengezilwane ezifuywayo. Nokho, emazweni amaningi opholi babhekwa njengezinambuzane ngoba badla isithelo kwezolimo. Opholi nabo bayazingelwa bese begcinwa njengezilwane ezifuywayo. Ezinye izinhlobo zopholi zisengozini yokushabalala ngenxa yalokhu.
Ama-parrots ahlala ezindaweni ezifudumele zomhlaba: eNingizimu Melika, e-Afrika, e-Australia naseningizimu ye-Asia. Abanye opholi basekhaya baye bandiza besuka kubanikazi babo, ngakho namuhla kukhona nopholi emazweni asenyakatho.
