Kuala lupmur Bird Park / Taman Burung Kuala Lumpur is one of Malaysia’s most popular tourist attractions.The 20 acre Bird Park is claimed to be the World’s Largest Free-Flight walk-in aviary.
Once we entered the park we can see so many birds moving around freely amid natural-looking landscaped gardens it is easy to forget that the place is covered with a giant net canopy.
There are around 4,000 birds and 250 different species found in the park which is divided into 4 zones: Zone 1 & 2 are free-flight zones, Zone 3 is the Hornbill Park and Zone 4 contains birds separated in cages, enclosures and mini-aviaries.
By allowing the birds to move around freely and by simulating their natural habitats and diet, birds have been able to breed naturally thus helping to ensure the survival and sustainability of their species. The park has been successful with their captive breeding programme and many species have been successfully bred including emus, African grey parrots, yellow billed stork, silver pheasant, sun conure, milky stork, red lory, Indian blue peafowl, red junglefowl, straw headed bulbul, Malay peacock pheasant and eclectus parrot.
Many of the birds are accustomed to humans and some (like peacocks, Parrots) will come and eat from your hand. However you should only feed them the proper food which is on sale (Ask the park assistant for help)
Other popular attractions in the park include the lovebirds, the brahminy kites (a Malaysian species), the flamingo pond, the World of Parrots, the hornbills (especially the rhinoceros hornbill), the oriental birds aviary and the pelicans.
The Bird Park is popular with photographers who are keen to try out their bird watching lenses but the birds are so close you can take good photos with just a regular camera even in mobile phone.
