KL Bird Park

The bird park in KL is pretty amazing. It's the largest open-air bird park in the world, with 3 000 birds and over 200 species. Although some of the birds are kept in their own cages, the majority of the 21 acre park is fully open, allowing the birds to fly around as they wish. There is a huge netting surrounding the park, which prevents the birds from getting out.

Not sure what this is...

Pink Flamingos

The rare Jennifer bird.

Toucans

A huge hornbill. This bird was very aggressive and surprisingly quick. When I took this picture, it jumped across the cage and jabbed its bill through the holes, almost chomping down on my nuts.

Airing out in the sun.

A scarlet ibis... I didn't know they had them here!
