It is a popular tourist attraction in the country, receiving an average of 200,000 visitors every year.It is located adjacent to the Perdana Lake Gardens of Kuala Lumpur.

The size of this bird park is around 7-16 hectares.
While many birds roam freely across the park, certain species such as the hornbills and parrots are confined in separate large sections within the aviary to ensure visitors will not miss the chance to see them.Other main attractions include the Indian Blue Peacocks, Crowned Pigeons, Yellow-billed Storks and flamingos. Time your visit to coincide with the feeding session of the birds.
While the birds are allowed to fly freely, the incompatatible species are confined in Display Aviaries and specially designed open exhibits. Some of these enclosures also house samplings of the other species for those who wish to admire them at close quarters.
Visitors will enjoy strolling through the park along a maze of paved walkways - amidst a profusion of greenery, refreshing air, pleasant trills, coos and whistles of birdsong.
At various points, you'll be delighted to come across miniature gardens, pools and water cascades, bridges, flowering plants, fruit trees...and bird - feeding stations.
At the Kuala Lumpur Bird Park, you'll spend engrossing hours spotting and studying the huge and fascinating variety of the feathered beauties found here.

Ornithology is my thing! I’m heading down to the KL Bird Park very soon myself. KL being in a sub tropical region does have some amazing birds for visitors like me. And I know I could use some RnR!! Especially in a nice hotel in KL.
