Abstract
In this study, 60 common starlings caught in Kirkuk Governorate were collected and cut up between December 2023 and March 2024. Their intestines were looked at to see if they had intestinal worms. The results showed that birds had two kinds of intestinal worms: Acanthocephalan Spp. 12 (20%) and Passerilepis crenata 5 (8.33%). We meticulously illustrated the morphological features of the recovered helminths using a microscope and identified them with the aid of reference books.
