Abstract
The article presents the results of bacteriological examination of five samples of feces from grey parrots (Psittacus) (n = 3), cockatoo (Cacatua) (n = 1), yellow-crowned amazon (Amazona) (n = 1). Five cultures of mycobacteria were bacteriologically isolated from the five samples. According to biochemical and cultural-morphological characteristics, mycobacterial cultures are classified as Mycobacterium scrofulaceum (n = 1) and Mycobacterium genavense (n = 4). Isolated cultures of mycobacteria are important in human pathology. Infected exotic poultry pose a potential risk of mycobacterial infection in their owners, so it is necessary to conduct research on biological material
