Authorities announced that the bird’s weight was 8.9 grams. Aras River Bird Sanctuary Research and Training Center, which continues its resonating studies in partnership with the universities of Igdir, Koc and Utah, under the coordination of the DKMP General Directorate and under the presidency of the Kuzey Doga Association, is the first primrose with a black head. A turkey ring was attached to the bird, which was detected for the first time in Turkey. Thanks to this ring, you can watch birds.

We are very excited. 313 bird species have been discovered in Igdir so far, we have added one more. Currently, the number of bird species seen in Turkey is 495. This is very important for biodiversity. DKMP has a National Theft Program that coordinates these efforts. “Within the scope of this program, such surprising developments can happen at every station. This year, we spread the first surprise from Igdir to Turkey. With this bird species discovered in Turkey, the number of bird species has increased. These studies continue as they continue. The number of bird species in Turkey also increases. will increase.” I said.
