Kuala Lumpur Bird Park is located in
the serene and scenic Kuala Lumpur Lake Gardens. It is only 10
minutes’ drive away from the city centre of Kuala Lumpur. KL Bird
Park is also reputed to be the largest walk-in free-flight aviary in
the world.
KL Bird Park is the home to more than
3,000 birds of approximately 200 species of local and foreign birds.
The park is 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 in which closely resembles their natural habitat. With
this free-flight concept, birds are able to breed naturally in this
unique environment.
Activities and attractions:
Daily activities:
Bird watching.
Visitors will have an exciting
experience of watching colourful and melodic birds perching and
winging about freely while relaxing in a natural and beautifully
landscaped surrounding. The main feature that distinguishes KL Bird
Park from any other bird parks is the concept of free-flight.
Breeding programme.
KL Bird Park had actively begun its
breeding programmes since the year 2002. Various species of birds,
both local and foreign, had successfully being bred in the park under
the programme, with some showing encouraging progress and improvement
year after year.
One of the most prominent evidence that
these birds have adapted so well to this environment is that they are
already able to breed naturally. The availability of numerous
suitable nesting sites; bountiful sources of fallen leaves, branches
and twigs makes KL Bird Park a highly conducive environment for
breeding. Therefore, this concept of free-flight not only provide the
patrons of the park with an experience that closely resembles life in
a tropical rainforest, but it is also perhaps the best way to ensure
the survival and species continuity of these birds.
Photography.
Even if you’re not a fan of birds,
with over 3000 different types of birds on display, you’ll
definitely be fascinated by the interesting array of colours on
display. Coupled with a well maintained park, the KL Bird Park is a
good opportunity to capture some good photos.
The hornbill restaurant.
The restaurant is located within the
Hornbill Park of KL Bird Park. The restaurant is unique because it is
the distinctive yet subtle Malay Kampung House architecture of the
restaurant. Other than being surrounded by towering green trees &
breath-taking view of the Kuala Lumpur skyline, you might also be
visited by our majestic Rhinoceros Hornbill and her other feathered
friends while enjoying your meal at the restaurant’s protruding
open veranda. Hornbill Restaurant & Café is the ideal venue to
entertain family, friends and clients, be it for lunch, dinner,
business meetings and small parties to wedding receptions.
