KL Bird Park

Seeing that it's time for some outdoor activites, we decided to do some bird-watching in the KL Bird Park, known as the world's Largest Covered Bird Park (sure not?).

Situated in the middle of city centre nearby the popular Lake Gardens, the KL Bird Park houses many species of birds in an enclosed anviary.

The size of the bird park is impressive and there are different pathways to walk along and explore. The birds were either let free flying everywhere or some of them were in the cages.

We were greeted by a pair of bright colored parrots... very loving

Plenty of peacocks roaming around, friendly and tame to be around with

Another species which arent afraid of humans, waiting eagerly for food

As we got there early, we saw birds being taken out and fed as the park staff were cleaning their cages. Notice the chilli seeds on the floor!

Owl's a great sleeper by day, a predator by night.. judging by this blurry looking one

We saw the most ferocious bird.. on a bird show for an 1/2 hour and usually around 12:30pm and 3:30 pm.

Stopped by at the Hornbill Restaurant & Cafe. A variety selection of local and western cuisines available here but the price's slightly expensive. We sat at the open verandah facing the green scenery. Yes, it even has WIFI connection here, hence we got online with the Asus Eee PC!

Mr Hornbill(s) looking nearby... be careful of your food though.

Good venue for phototaking session... both of us stalking the storks
You'll find other attractions nearby the Bird Park such as the National Monument, Butterfly House, Orchid Garden and more. It's an interesting place to visit and well worth the slightly pricy admission fees.
Been here twice now, still I find the KL Bird Park exciting to visit.
