[Hot Spot] Kuala Lumpur Bird Park

The Kuala Lumpur Bird Park is a 20.9-acre (8.5 ha) public aviary in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It is a popular tourist attraction in the country, receiving an average of 200,000 visitors every year. It is located adjacent to the Lake Gardens. The Bird Park houses more than 3000 birds representing more than 200 species, in an enclosed aviary. Out of these birds, 90% are local birds and 10% were imported from overseas.

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

Bird-watching is a common activity here where the flora and fauna is rich. The Kuala Lumpur Bird Park has earned the reputation among those who are keen on the study of birds in their natural habitat. Some of them include research scientists who monitor bird nests for the study of behavioral patterns.

Aquaria KLCC is based on the journey of water from the land to the sea. The journey starts in the misty highlands, down majestic rivers, through the rainforest and mangroves to the coral reefs into the deep blue sea. The journey starts at the waterfall in the mountains. From here the water flows to lower expanse. You'll see the fish that swims in that river: a giant catfish. Also you can see the animals, which live close to the river: camouflaged Leaf Frogs and Poison Dart Frogs.

You can explore and discover the animals of the river in the Malaysian rainforest. Where the land meets the sea you'll find the mangroves. From the mangroves to coastlines you'll get a chance to  examine baby sharks and even stingrays as they glide across the sandy bottom of the Touch Pool.
