Iraqi Sulaymaniyah is a treasure land of wildlife, especially avian species. Most of this treasure is not discovered, and even the guidance map is not completed yet. The geographical area of Sulaymaniyah is suitable for many types of wildlife animals, including Chukar partridges, locally known as Khasa Kaw. The Chukar partridge is present in many countries in the Middle East region, but there is a subspecies in the northern of Iraq. The Sulaymaniyah nature is a natural habitat for this fantastic bird, seen in the valleys and around water springs throughout the region. Also, Chukar partridges are used as game birds and raised as pets or for fighting between the males. Unfortunately, there is no detailed scientific study on this bird, even though it is one of the most common and beloved birds. This article provides information on the history of the bird, its life cycle, behavior, taxonomy, distribution, sex, and age determination of Chukar partridges. It also mentions the most common diseases of chukar partridge and its natural predators.

“…This is related to environmental factors such as temperature, light intensity and humidity on the day of observation. According to [32], the distribution of bird species in a habitat can be influenced by several factors include past habits, geographic barriers, climate (especially temperature, wind, altitude and humidity), behavior and mobility of birds. [33] suggest that the presence of birds in a habitat is closely related to physical factors such as soil, water, temperature, sunlight and biological factors including vegetation and other animals.…”

Asam Kumbang Crocodile Breeding is a breedig ground for crocodiles that contain several birds. Species diversity is indicated by differences in the types of organisms. One of the most diverse organisms of its kind is birds. Birds in this region are able to setle down and coexist with crocodiles. Crocodiles are one of the predators of bird. It aims to identify the diversity of birds and status of protected birds at the research site. The method used in this study were point count method, thus resulted in 12 species of birds belonging to 5 ordo, 6 family, and 11 genus. The most common birds species found on the 3rd observation with as many as 9 species of birds, while the least species of birds found on the 4th observationas many as 5 species of birds. Diversity index value (H’) of bird in location classified into category of “moderate category” with the results of analysis 1,171 and the indeks equitabilitas value of 0,47. According to the Ministry of Environment and Forestry Regulation 2018, there are 2 types of birds found in the study area of birds found in the study site.

Morphological and histological aspects on the cerebrum of gold- capped parrot was studied to describe the cerebrum regions which classify and named acording to the new standard nomenclature of the international consortium of avian neuroscientists.The results of morphological aspects (the gross anatomy) revealed that the cerebrum was the largest and the dominant part of the brain, the surface of eachcerebral hemisphere was smooth and without gyri and sulci. The wulst was found as a bulge on the dorsum of each hemisphere, it was massive. The lateralborder of the wulst was demarcated by vallecula groove.The results of histological aspects indicated the presence of two regions: the dorsal (pallial), and the basal (striatal and pallidal) regions. The dorsal ventricular ridge (DVR) was the best developed representing the gray matter.
