Abstract:

From four areas, in December 1993 - February 2004 period, we collected 896 Bird Lices found on eight bird of prey individuals (three species), that were injured, suffering or living in captivity (method especially demanded for protected species, without killing of viable individuals in nature). During collecting there was taken into account the place of parasites on different parts in bird bodies. The collected Bird Lices belong to four genera and six species (out of which four species are new for Romanian parasitical fauna). Regarding the parasites of Long-legged Buzzard (Buteo rufinus), till now, there are no further data.
