Kuala Lumpur Bird Park
Kuala Lumpur birdpark is said to be the largest ‘covered’ bird park in the world. Located near in the Lake garden, it is near the Planiteriun Negara, Orchird Garden, and Tun Abdul Razak Memorial.
The bird park is large, about 8 acres and there are many thousand of bird from various species in the park. Most of them are flying free.
The kl bird park is established in 1991 by her majesty the Raja Permaisuri Agong of Malaysia, Tunku Bainun. It is very near to Kuala Lumpur, about 10 min only by taxi.
The park is devided into 4 zone. I think it is easier to devide like this as the bird will be easy to be seen and they will not harm each other. Zone 1 will have Flamingo Pond, Flamingo Terrace, Heron and Egret pond, brahminy land andI can see a lots of peacock and various species of dove in this area. In Zome 2 there are western crown pigeon and scarlet ibis. Visitor can see the photo booth and hornbill park in zone 3 while in zone 4 they have world of parrots, rare and endengered bird’s aviaries, flighless bird and their amphitheatre.

Here is some photo that I take from the visit:
This photo is taken in Zone 1 at one of the feeding area. Feeding area is a good place to take photo and it is easiest to spot a bird. The bird in this park will take enough for us to take the photo.
