The bird park was set among a gorgeous landscape which included, gardens,waterfalls and several feeding points for the birds. As a nature lover and avid photographer,I was enthralled with the walk in the park area. Since the park boundaries were large, one never felt being in a crowd despite the large number of visitors who throng the aviary daily.

If you have some time to kill in Kuala Lumpur, then I suggest KL Bird Park, especially if you’re traveling with kids. It’s a great place to spend a couple of hours, with or without a camera.
