During fall season, biodiversity of mites collected from parrots and Peacocks was recorded in Giza Zoo. Samples of dust,
litter and debris from bird cages were examined. Mites were extracted using modified Tullgren funnel and mounted in
Hoyer s medium on microscopic slides for examination. Seventeen mite species of 15 genera belong to ten families were
identified. Theses families belong to four suborders as follow: four to Actinedida, two to Gamasida, three to Acaridida
and one to Oribatida. Three species were firstly recorded; one belongs to the family Acaridae and the others to the family
Cheyletidae. Types of habits of collected acari founa were noted
predacious (35.2%), fungivourus (3.2%), parasitic
(0.8%), phytophagous (4%), allergen (56.8%).
