Abstract EN

The aim of this study was to isolate the bacteria from different types of ornamental birds which included: 20 (Agapornis pullarius), 12 (Pycnonotus goiavier), 20 (Fringilla coelebs) and 16 (Serinus canaria).The specimens were taken from feathers, intestine, blood, and drink water in Al-Diwaniyah province.

The result showed that the salmonella was isolated from all types of the ornamental birds and from all specimens, while Brucella abortus was the less isolated bacteria from all specimens especially the blood specimens.

The most isolated bacteria were from love birds and finches which refer to important role of ornamental birds in zoonotic disease.
