Birdpark Kuala Lumpur

History and info about Bird Park:

The KL Bird Park was set up in 1991 and was officially opened by The DYMM Raja Permaisuri Agong, Tuanku Bainun. Located in the serene and scenic Kuala Lumpur Lake Gardens, it is only 10 minutes drive away from the city centre of Kuala Lumpur. It is the home to more than 2,000 birds of approximately 200 species of local and foreign birds.Sprawling approximately 20.9 acres of verdant valley terrain, the park is divided into 4 zones; Zone 1 and 2 make up the free-flight zone; Zone 3 is the Hornbill Park and Zone 4 is where the birds are placed in separate cages and mini aviaries.
One of KL Bird Park's most extraordinary feature is that in Zone 1, 2 and 3, birds are let free in the aviary which closely resembles their natural habitat. With this free-flight concept, birds are able to breed naturally in this unique environment.

Few of the birds I snapped:








There are so many birds there from various countries. and yet so many things to see and to be discover there. I took the pictures of different birds one place to another and learn their habitats. Next I went to the The Amphitheater. After that, I rushed to our meeting point before the bus arrive. Too bad I don't have enough time to visit the Orchid Garden because I've been spending soo much time in the bird park but it was one of the great moment I had.



The Amphitheater is located in Zone 4 of the park. Don't miss our main event highlight of the day, the KL Bird Park Bird Show happening at this semi-open air amphitheater at 12.30pm and 3.30pm daily. The Amphitheater has a 350 seating capacity and the daily Bird Show is free-of-charge with a first-come-first-serve seating arrangements.

Petrosains Aquaria

Trip to petrosains and Aquaria located at KLCC. First stop, petrosains. Been there few times and for me its sorta boring but then again, we spent more times there than at Aquaria. Probably because of there's a lot of people queuing for the helicopter ride which took us almost half an hour, more or less and not to forget queuing from the start before taking this slow ride thingy to take us into the exhibition area. Had a 10minutes brunch due to late on schedule. Waited for few minutes again before going to Aquaria and lecturers told us we only have an hour to spend there. Sorta disappointed, but its better than nothing because we payed for it. It was fun there with the others but I must say, today's trip was way too tiring than I expected. And I still wonder why we gotta go to a trip to Petrosains and Aquaria.

Disneyland

If only trip to Disneyland would be cheaper, the whole class would definitely go for a trip to one of the Disneyland. Even so, our lecturers showed us all of the Disneyland included the history of the first Disneyland till the current Disneyland. Well, Disneyland is a theme park which was based on television cartoon and was designed and built under the direct supervision of Walt Disney who was also the original creator of the Disney's cartoon. The concept for Disneyland began one Sunday, when Walt Disney was visiting Griffith Park with his daughters Diane and Sharon. While watching his daughters ride the Merry-Go-Round, he came up with the idea of a place where adults and their children could go and have fun together. That's how it all started. Today, Disneyland was a success theme park through-out the world. Well, at least it was fun watching the video about Disneyland during class.

IMAX's Time Square trip

I Heard the trip to IMAX's cinema Time Square, KL. The purpose? I think is was to study the huge IMAX's screen which are curvy compare to other cinemas which has flat screen. Though when the movie starts playing, the image are just in normal size as other cinemas due to the IMAX's cinema lack on budget to bought an IMAX's film which disappoints me a little. But, discovering the curvy IMAX's screen was rather interesting. Our lecturer asked us which are the best spot to watch the movie. I figured it was suppose on the middle, straight to the middle of the screen but I was wrong. At the end of the movie, he told us, the best spot is not actually viewing straight to the middle of the screen but from the sides. This is because, when you viewing from the middle and straight to the screen, your eyes can't read the the images on your left and right due to the curve of IMAX's screen.
