About Bird Park

Kuala Lumpur Bird Park is a 20.9-acre (8.5 ha) public aviary in the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur. It is one of the world's largest covered bird parks, located adjacent to the 60-hectare (150-acre) Perdana Botanical Gardens, Kuala Lumpur Butterfly Park, the National Mosque, and the Royal Malaysian Police Museum. The park houses more than 3,000 birds, representing over 200 species in an enclosed aviary. About 90% are local birds and 10% were imported from countries such as Australia, China, the Netherlands, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Tanzania, and Thailand.

Kuala Lumpur Bird Park is a 20.9-acre (8.5-hectare) public aviary in the heart of the Malaysian capital and one of the world's largest covered bird parks. It lies in the city's green belt of gardens next to the 60-hectare Perdana Botanical Gardens, the Butterfly Park, the National Mosque and the Royal Malaysian Police Museum, making it part of a full day among parks and museums. The park houses more than 3,000 birds of over 200 species inside a vast enclosed netted aviary; about 90 percent are native Malaysian birds and 10 percent were imported from countries such as Australia, China, the Netherlands, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Tanzania and Thailand. Highlights include the free-roaming birds that wander among visitors, from peacocks to the large hornbills, a well-made artificial waterfall, a large flamingo pond and bird shows at set times. Inside the park the Hornbill Restaurant lets diners sit among the birds, though Wikivoyage notes it is not cheap, and the park is a stop for the city's sightseeing buses.
