Abstract: A study was conducted on male Aseel birds between the ages of 3-4 months The shoulder girdle of Aseel was composed of three bones, namely the scapula, coracoid, and clavicle. The scapula was sword-like shape and slightly curved in a craniocaudal direction, and its proximal extremity consisted of an acromion process and a coracoid process. The coracoid was the strongest bone of the shoulder girdle, and its proximal extremity had a hook like appearance. The right and left clavicles fused distally to form a single bony component, the furcula, which was ‘U’ shaped.
