Kuala Lumpur Bird Park








Kuala Lumpur Bird Park

Located in the serene and scenic Kuala Lumpur Lake Gardens, it is only 10 minutes drive away from the city centre of Kuala Lumpur. It is the home to more than 3,000 birds of approximately 200 species of local and foreign birds.

Sprawling approximately 20.9 acres of verdant valley terrain, 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.


Right in the heart of Malaysia’s capital city, the Bird Park of Kuala Lumpur is the “largest free-flight, walk-in aviary” in the world. Undoubtedly one of the most popular attractions of the city, the park spreads over more than 20 acres of land and is the home of 3000 birds of 200 species, both local and foreign. The Bird Park is located in the Lake Gardens, a 150-acre green space featuring an artificial lake, the former House of Parliament, the KL Butterfly Park and two gardens: Orchid and Hibiscus.
