The Toxoplasma sero-positive rate (SPR) in the examined birds was 10.5 percent (27 cases) with titers of 1:40 or higher and SPR in each group tested were 17 percent in sparrow; 5.1 percent in doves and 2.8 percent in pigeons. The SPR between sparrows and doves and also between sparrows and pigeons were significantly different (P
