Results of the current study showed recorded nine species of ectoparasites were: Menacanthus stramineus (37.01%), Menacanthus corntus (18.18%) Menacanthus eurysternus (11.04%), Menopon gallinae (18.18%), Trinoton querquedulae (5.84%) Columbicola columbae (8.44%) Aaticola crasssicorins (3.90%), Fulicoffula gallinule (3.25%) and Saemundssonia lari (2.69%), two species of them recorded for the first time in Iraq were: M. eurysternus and T. querquedulae. No significant differences between males and females birds in infested with ectoparasites, while the infestation percentage of ectoparasites significantly decreased with weight increase at level (P &amp;le; 0.05). The double infestation was the highest with a significant difference followed by single infestation then the triple infestation.&lt;/p&gt;
