It is known that the pollution of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) negatively affects human and animal health in ecosystems. Birds are the bioindicators in the determination of environmental pollution. The present study is the first attempt to determine the pollution of Cd and Pb using the inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) device in the blood samples (n=40) collected from seventeen wild bird species recorded in Turkey: Common buzzard ( Buteo buteo ) ; Eagle-owl ( Bubo bubo ) ; Barn owl ( Tyto alba ) ; Long-eared owl ( Asio otus ) ; Little owl ( Athene noctua ) ; Marsh harrier ( Circus aeruginosus ) ; Black-crowned night heron ( Nycticorax nycticorax ) ; Sparrowhawk ( Accipiter nisus ) ; Black kite ( Milvus migrans ) ; White stork ( Ciconia ciconia ) ; Common kestrel ( Falco tinnunculus ) ; Booted eagle ( Hieraaetus pennatus ) ; Grey Heron ( Ardea cinerea ) ; Common moorhen ( Gallinula chloropus ) ; Griffon vulture ( Gyps fulvus ) ; Golden eagle ( Aquila chrysaetos ) ; and Common crane ( Grus grus ). In the study, the highest Pb concentration (509.58±0.29 ppb) was detected in the blood sample of the Golden eagle ( Aquila chrysaetos ). It was found that the Pb concentration of Golden Eagle was over 150 ppb, which has been determined as the threshold value of lead poisoning for birds. The Pb concentrations in the blood samples of other wild birds were less than the threshold value for poisoning (150 ppb). In the present study, the non-detection of Cd in the blood of wild birds. The results of this first study conducted on seventeen wild bird species in Turkey revealed no heavy metal pollution (Cd and Pb) in wild birds except for one blood sample.
