Abstract
Parasitism is one of the major health related problems in the companion bird practice and is one of the major clinical problems considered for differential diagnosis, especially in newly acquired birds and in large aviary collections. Hence screening for endoparasites is essential to assess the health status of the birds. In this study, during the year 2010-2012, faecal samples from Captive Psittacine of Major zoos like National Zoological Park, New Delhi, Sri Chamarajendra Zoological Garden, Mysore and
Arignar Anna Zoological Park, Vandalur were collected and screened for presence of endoparasites.
