The present study was conducted on five adult, apparently healthy, cattle egrets. The birds were euthanized and the skeletons were prepared by the cold maceration method. The skeleton of the cattle egret characterized by very long peak, single occipital condoyle, large orbits with incomplete orbital septum and presence of scleral ossicles as well as fourteen cervical and tenth thoracic vertebrae. The mandible is formed of seven bones fused with each other. The hyoid bone consists of three axial, unpaired elements, as well as two paired elements. The tenth thoracic vertebra is fused to the synsacrum. Synsacrum is a fused bony rod of 12-13 lumbar and sacral vertebrae. The caudal vertebrae consist of five free coccygeal vertebrae and the pygostyle. The ribs are seven pairs including both floating and true ribs. The floating ribs are the first and second ribs. Uncinate processes are found in all ribs, except the last two ribs.
