Kuala Lumpur Bird Park Aviary

kl birdparkKL Bird Park or Taman Burung Kuala Lumpur is one of Malaysia's most popular tourist attractions. Located in the scenic gardens of Lake KL, just minutes from downtown Kuala Lumpur, the 20-hectare Bird Sanctuary is the largest free flight in the world in an aviary.

I have visited the KL Vogelpark a few times and with so many birds moving freely in the middle of natural-looking gardens, it's easy to forget that the place is covered with a huge net.

There are approximately 3,000 birds and 200 different species in the park, divided into 4 zones: zone 1 and zone 2 are free zones, zone 3 is Hornbill Park (also called free flight concept) and zone 4 contains separate birds in cages. , Housing and mini-aviaries.

By allowing birds to roam freely and simulate their natural habitat and diet, they have been able to reproduce naturally, contributing to the survival and sustainability of their species. The park has been successful in breeding in captivity and many species have been successfully selected: emus, gray parrots, yellow-billed storks, silver pheasant, sunflower, milk stork, red lorikeet, Indian blue peacock, yellow guinea fowl, straw and melon bulb, peacock fagot from Malaysia and Eclectus parrot,

Many birds are accustomed to humans and some (like peacocks) eat from your hand. But you just give them the right foods to sell, not your ice cream!

The lovebirds, Brahman kites (a Malaysian species), the flamingo pond, the parrot world, the hornbills (especially the hornbill), the oriental birdcage and the pelicans.

The ornithological park is popular with photographers who like to watch their birds, but they are so close that you can take good pictures with a regular camera.
