Analyzing mythical content analysis of myths is one of the most important issues in the field of folk tales research. Birds are so important to humans in the distant past that they have been present even in the myths of different nations. In this research and by adopting the content –analysis research methodology, the authors have tried to investigate mythical content of birds among Luri’s myths gathered around Chahārmahal and Bakhtiāri, Kohgiluye and Boyer Ahmad and Lorestan provinces. The objective of the current study is to analyze the functions of birds on the one hand and the manner the mythical beliefs can influence the birds’ place on the other hand.  In this research and in comparison with mythological beliefs, the authors have studied the reasons for the transformation of the roles of certain birds in Luri’s myths. The results showed that out of a total of 140 Luri’s myths in 48 myths, birds such as eagle, Simorgh, crow, owl, swan, pigeon and asparagus are present with positive functions among Luri’s myths which may indicate their popularity among the people. It is worthwhile to mention that mythological and religious beliefs alongside the eco system exert the great influence on the place and function of the birds.
