Kuala Lumpur Bird Park : World Largest Free-Flight Walk-in Aviary

My first visit to the Kuala Lumpur Bird Park since I was born in Kuala Lumpur. It was really a fun experience by having the chance to get close to all kinds of birds. I never know that my country have all these birds until my visit to the park. Here some introduction about the place and hope you all pay a visit to the park one day.

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 3,000 birds of approximately 200 species of local and foreign birds.

Sprawling approxi
mately 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 fr
ee in the aviary which closely resembles their natural habitat. With this free-flight concept, birds are able to breed naturally in this unique environment.

Visitors will have an exciting expe
rience of watching colourful and melodic birds perching and winging about freely while relaxing in a natural and beautifully landscaped surrounding. KL Bird Park is also reputed to be the largest walk-in free-flight aviary in the world.
