Northern Bald Ibis (Geronticus eremita) is in the Red List of Threatened Species published by International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN). The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of Aeromonas hydrophila and Yersinia species in feces of Northern Bald Ibis. In the study, 29 (35.3%) A. hydrophila and 22 (26.8%) Yersinia species were isolated from stool samples. In isolated Yersinia species, 8 (9.7%) Y. enterocolitica, 5 (6%) Yersinia spp, 4 (4.8%) Y. frederiksenii, 3 (3.6%) Y. intermedia and 2 (2.4%) Y. kristensenii were identified. In conclusion, Yersinia spp. and A. hydrophila have been found at high rates in Northern Bald Ibis stool.
