Ezinye zizijayeze ukuhlala lapho kungasi likhaya lazo lemvelo ngokuhlala lapho kunabantu begodu zivamise nokubonakala eemvandeni zemadorobheni.
Ukudla
Nokho nanyana igama layo lizwakala ngathi iphila ngemfesi kwaphela nje, kodwana ezinye azizidli iimfesi, ezinengi zazo zimhlobo ophila ngenyama kwaphela (zidla iinlwani ezinganamigogodlha ezifana nelezo ezirhurhubako kanye neenyoni) nofana iinunwana, ezinye zomhlobazo azitjhideli emanzini.

Naziphaphako zaziwa ngokurhaba nokuphapha ngendlela enqophileko, azikavamisi ukuphapha ngaphezu kwemithi. Nazizumako ihloma ihloko ngemanzini igobole ekunqophileko bese ikhambe ibuyele lapho editjha khona ukwenzela ukubulala beyidle lokho ekubambileko.

Lapho zitholakala khona
Kunemihlobo emasumi abunane nesithandathu yomhlobo wenyoni le emhlabeni zombelele. E-Afrika khona kunemihlobo elisumi nobunane, kuthi isumi litholakale eSewula nePumalanga ye-Afrika.
UBhor'imithi obamba iimfesi
Umhlobo wenyonezi ezingezidla iimfesi zijameleke kuhle eSewula kanye nePumalanga ye-Afrika ngalezo ezincani ezibizwa nge-tiny Malachite Kingfisher, ziyafana kodwana zikulu Half-collared Kingfisher, kunenye ekarisako ebizwa i-Giant Kingfisher kanye nethanda ukuba ngomhlambi i-Pied Kingfisher. Iinyonezi zidla iimfesi nofana ezinye iinlwanyana zemanzini (i-Giant Kingfisher izithandela ukudla iinkala, kuthi i-Malachite Kingfisher, izidlele iirhwarhwa ezincani kanye nama-dragonfly larvae) begodu azikavami ukubonakala zikude namanzi. Zibekelelisana emigodini zemibundu eseduze namanzi, begodu ezintathu ezibalwe kokuthoma zingezesifunda. I-Pied Kingfisher ihlala ngemindeni neenqhema, kuthi amadzinyana aqoqoselwe esikhathini esisandukudlula sonyaka adlale indima yokusiza ngokukhulisa amadzinyana wakanina asesemancani, kanti-ke isibalo inani lazo lingahlanganela endaweni eyodwa yokulala ebusuku. Ifeza iindingo ngokuphapha begodu ikghona ukuzuma iinfesi ikude nelingeqadi lamanzi, nofana zibe kude echibini elivulekileko nofana ngaphezu kwamagagasi nofana isihlenge seligu. Zinobude obumasenthimitha amasumi amathathu, kanti-ke emndeninazo le yinyoni ekulu, kanye nebizwa nge-Laughing Kookaburra (leyo ngengahlali emanzi enarheni ye-Australia) zitjhidelene khulu.
AboBhorimithi abangadli iimfesi
Imihlobo esithandathu yeenyonezi ze-Afrika idla iinunwana, ama-arachnids kanye neenlwanyana ezinganamgogodlha ezivamise ukubanjwa ngemva kokuphaphela eendaweni ezomileko. Imihlobo eminye yeenyonezi zinokubonwa zibekelisana eduze nehlathi lemilambo. Umhlobo obizwa nge-tiny Pygmy Kingfisher yide ukudlula isigarede, kodwana ubuhle bayo bemibalabala kanye nobuhlaza satjani beensiba zayo ziyenza ibonakale iyihle khudlwana. Inyonencani le isivakatjhi seSewula ye-Afrika ukusuka lapho kubizwa i-tropics, evamise ukuthatha ikhambo layo ngomnyama. Ngebhadi inengi leenyonezihlezi ziyabulawa naziphaphela emafesidirini wemarhalasi ngomnyama. Enye yalezo ezibavakatjhi be-Afrika zinetjhada begodu zikhudlwana zibizwa nge-Woodland Kingfisher evamise ukuthula umlayezo ngokungena kwehlobo esewula ye-Zambezi, ngetjhada layo elihlabako evamise ukulibuyelela elizwakala kwangathi lithi: 'ki. . . . . trrrrr'.
Ezikhamba ngambili zamabalabalezi kanye nezinzima zikhetha bezivikele isifunda sazo, lapho kunemigodi yemithi ezilungeleko lapho zikghona ukubekela amaqanda khona, beziqe iinyanga eziimbalwa zizikhangisela lezo eziphikisana nazo ngokuthi zikhona. Lokhu zikwenza ngokuthi zenze itjhada nangokuphuphuruza iimpiko. Efananazo ebizwa nge-African Mangrove Kingfisher ibekelela emahlathini weligwini (ngokusebenzisa imigodi yemithi) kodwana iqeda isikhathi esinengi eendaweni ezibizwa ngama-mangrove swamps ivamise ukubamba khona iinkala kanye nezinye iinlwanyana zangemanzini. I-Brown-hooded Kingfisher ayisiyo yomhlobo okhamba uvakatjha, nanyana iyinyoni yemahlathini nje, injalo nje imhlali wahlangana namakari emadorobheni we-Sewula Afrika afana ne-Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Nelspruit kanye ne-Durban.
