Resumo: Between the some sanitary problems that affect the wild avian, the parasitic diseases are the most frequent, since causing sub-clinics infections until the death. The endoparasites are very common in captivity kept birds, mainly in cases of high population density. The ectoparasites provoke serious damages that compromise the health of the wild avian being able to take them it the death, as well as indirect damages that intervene with the behavior and the performance of these animals in captivity. Being thus, the present work had for objective to relate the prevalence of endo and ectoparasites in cracides maintained in captivity at Dois Irmãos Zoo Park, Recife-Pernambuco. Dois Irmãos Zoo Park pertaining birds of the Cracidae family had been studied. These animals were born at breeders from different regions of Zona da Mata of Pernambuco State. Samples of excrement and sand had been collected. For the analysis of these samples four excrement collections and one of sand in a period of 60 days had been made. A total of 84 feces samples of 21 species of cracides of 58 animals were collected. The harvested material was submitted to examinations by direct method and spontaneous sedimentation. The results had been positive for Strongyloides sp, Ascaridia sp, Capillaria sp and cysts of Entamoeba coli and eggs of the Strongyloidea family. Two collections with interval of 60 days of plumes to search ectoparasites had been made. A total of 42 samples of plumes had been examined of 21 cracides species. This material was submitted to optic microscope direct examination of identification. The results had evidenced the presence of Analgidae, Glycyphagidae and Pterolichidae mites and Menoponidae lices.
