KL BIRD PARK

Nestled in the Perdana Botanical Gardens, the KL Bird Park is a sanctuary for all bird lovers and bird watchers and has a tropical setting that serves as a gorgeous backdrop. It is the home to over 3000 kinds of animals and migratory birds and hence attracts the numerous bird watchers, both novice and expert, into its premises.

KL Bird Park is the favorite haunt of bird lovers as you can spot over here around 3000 species of resident and migratory birds. It is spread in an area of 20 acres and is a tropical paradise for different birds' species. This picturesque park is billed as the largest covered bird park all around the globe. Located in the Perdana Botanical Gardens, this park is one of the most peaceful locations in the entire city that entices the nature lovers with green grasslands and landscaped gardens. You can enjoy the spectacular birdlife of Malaysia by opting for an ecotourism trip to this park.

The park is further divided into four different zones: Zone 3 contains the Hornbill Park, Zone 1 and 2 are free-flight zones, and zone number 4 is the area where birds live in mini aviaries and separate cages. The aviaries tend to mimic the natural habitat of the indigenous species of birds over here.

The birds breed naturally over here because of the best habitation and dietary conditions that are provided to them. They are also allowed to move freely in this park, which ensures their sustainability and survival. Many captive breeding programs are also carried out in this park to breed the most vulnerable species like African grey parrots, red lorry, milky stork, emus, etc.

Other renowned attractions in this park include the brahminy kites, which are the famous Malaysian species, the World of Parrots, hornbills, the flamingo pond, the pelicans, and the oriental bird's aviary. Some of the most splendid bird shows are also organised in the amphitheatre over here daily. This park is also the favourite destination of the photographers who wish to take some splendid shots of the birds over here.

The kids will especially love the bird nursery in zone 4 where they can learn about egg incubation and can even watch the ducklings and chicks hatching from their eggs if they’re lucky. The landscaped gardens also have exercise stations, jogging tracks, and rowing boats for the visitors. A refreshment kiosk is also located here from where you can buy drinks and snacks.
