A visit to KL Birds Park

We were on Air Asia flight to KL when I read about this place. It claim as the largest free flight walk-in aviary bird park in the world, if you know what that means, well I don't. So easy to be the largest meh? It probably is or otherwise they wouldn't dare to advertise it in a travel magazine, published by the Winner of World's Best Low Cost Airline for 3 consecutive years, so I think. I had been lobbying to go there but babah was not amused until one day when we didn't have any plan to kill our time during the weekend, and babah was to see his friend, who had just opened a restaurant in TTDI, that I managed to persuade him to bring us there, leave home early so we will be in time to have lunch at the restaurant after the birds park visit. And thanks to mama for suggesting the place as well.. otherwise, we would have just hanging around the house, or if we were lucky, we got to play at the playground, or visited Bintang Giant for durians.. ahhh... but, here we were..

See, it was a delight to be able to walk around and with so many species of birds we could only see in movies like RIO.. we could simply touch them, and grab them if we want to. I was about to grab one small bird until babah advised me not to.. it could be small, but it would peck my eyes with its beak in no time..

I like the red bird, but it didn't seem to bother playing with us human.. unlike other birds, this red bird is always busy looking into the water, probably preying on the fish for lunch..

I didn't know that ducks are actually.. err birds..

one good looking duck.. or err, bird, resting by the waterfall.. there are other birds, like emu, ostrich, various species of hornbills etc.

but, this is the main reason that I really wanted to visit this place.. the photo shoot with birds.. I saw them in the ads, it looks cool, where else you can take pictures with birds sitting on your lap? but I was so nervous during the photo session that babah had to hold my hand so I wouldn't run away, I was so scared that one of the birds would poke my eyes with their beaks, especially the one on babah's shoulder, and I have no idea that Adeeb is so much braver than me, until I saw them put the red bird on Adeeb's head.. But seriously, if you have nothing to do on weekend.. nowhere to take your kids to, this would be a good choice!
