the KL Bird Park, situated within the lake gardens, features a 'walk-in free flight aviary' said to be the largest in the world. it is home to about 3,000 birds and the main attractions are the hornbills, the african macaws, peacocks, and flamingoes. the park is best visited in the morning when the birds are most active in the walk-in aviary.

since there is a walk-in aviary expect birds of all shapes and sizes to be milling around the gardens or flying overhead. so do watch out for bird poop which is either in the pathways or can be dropped on your head by a bird flying overhead.

if you're planning to go to the park allot half a day for this activity. you'll be doing a lot of walking so its a must to wear comfortable shoes. it is also advisable to bring bottled water (or something cold to drink) which can serve you well when you're inside and in between pit stops.

the park is open daily from 9:00am - 6:30pm. as of november 2006 admission fee was RM28 for non-Malaysian adults and RM20 for non-Malaysian children.

The bird park in KL claims to be the largest covered aviary in the world. Don’t know if that’s true, but it is still a nice place to spend an hour or two. The area is quite nice, but some of the birds are not necessarily in best condition with missing feathers etc., which was a bit sad. But then again, I don’t know very much about birds, so can’t say if the poor condition is due to the care they get or time of year.

The most interesting parts for us were the many hornbill species, especially the Great Hornbill, and little parrots that fly freely in the bigger parrot cage. We’d heard some of the bigger parrots know a few words, but sadly none of them wanted to speak. So no “Polly wants a cracker” for us then. ;)

Be warned that the bird park is very hot due to its location on the bottom of a small valley so the wind can’t reach it. There are many covered rest stops around the park, though, and reasonably priced refreshments are available, but the bravest peacocks will try to share them with you. They aren’t aggressive but they will appear from all directions when they see you buying something from the kiosk.

The Bird Park in the Lake Gardens is an ineludible visit for bird lovers. Malaysians claim this is the biggest covered aviary in the world and it was indeed one of the largest I have seen. It was a real pleasure to walk under this net with thousands of exotic birds flying free around the lush tropical gardens.

I love the huge goldfish that can be found all over Malaysia. These ones were at the Butterfly house. You can buy fish food at the entrance. Once they realize you have food they follow you around, poking their heads out of the water in expectation.

The bird park has some nice water features. As well as several small water areas there is a waterfall with Egrets, flamencos and goldfish. A ramp winds down to the bottom where you find peacocks resting in the shade. There are some nice places to sit quietly and watch the birds. On the way back up you can walk behind the waterfall.

The Bird Park can be found in the Lake Gardens just a short walk from the Butterfly house. If you follow the road around you cant miss it. Its the worlds largest covered bird park. It house about 3000 birds and covers 8 acres. The cost was around 45 ringgits and of course a camera and video fee on top. We especially enjoyed the parrots who were in the mood to play. They mimicked our whistles and when they were too hard they squawked loudly at us. The peacocks too were very beautiful. Most of them proudly show us their tails
