KL 2 of 5: The Bird Park

This place was really amazing. It's 21 acres! It is the largest walk through aviary in the world and is divided into several zones. Really good signage. Many of the birds are free range, but some are in smaller enclosures within the giant aviary. With so many natural areas, including natural water features, we were able to observe natural feeding behaviors in many species, especially with the water/shore birds. Because of the size there was a lot of walking and many signs indicating "slippery when wet" but we had no issues as it wasn't raining. We even spotted a 3-foot monitor lizard in the Bird Park.

Just some of the birds here include: hornbills, flamingos, parrots, cockatoos, storks, pheasants, mynahs, pigeons, macaws, ducks, waterhens... the list goes on.
Cattle egret
Pigeon feeding station
One could make an argument that this peacock was animatronic. I simply asked him to turn around and he prompted turned for the photo.
Wood stork
Black-crowned night heron
The tall KL Tower and Petronas Twin Towers can be seen from everywhere in KL. This is a shot from inside the Bird Park.
Eclectus parrot
We had a request for a selfie so we tried. This isn't easy, but in case you didn't believe we were really here, hope this helps! Or does it?
