Bacterial normal flora were identified in handfed psittacine birds (lory, amazons, lorikeet, cockatoo, conure, grey parrot, macaw, eclectus and African love birds) at Cavin estate exotic bird farm, Chennai, Tamil Nadu. A total of 54 cloacal swabs were collected fromdifferent species of psittasine birds for bacteriological screening to identify the microorganisms by morphological and biochemical characteristics. In the present study, four Gram positive organisms such as Staphylococcus, Enterococcus, Bacillus and Corynebacterium and ten Gram negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Enterobactersp., Klebsiellasp., Yersiniasp., Providenciasp., Erwiniasp., Citrobactersp., Serratiasp., Acinitobactersp.and Buttiauxellasp.,were identified as the normal flora in apparently healthyhandfed psittacine birds. The frequency of occurrence of Staphylococcus sp., and E.coli was higher when compared to others.
