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.
