Orange poop in the Bird Park in Kuala Lumpur
In the center of Kuala Lumpur, you will find several green parks. Here you can walk, skate, run for the real diehards and spot birds. For the latter, we visited the Bird Park Kuala Lumpur. A morning searching for eccentric birds.
Kuala Lumpur Station
The Bird Park is huge and is situated on a hill. This makes it somewhat difficult to reach by subway. If you already have a sportive day on the program, it is of course possible. Take the subway and get off at Kuala Lumpur Station, from there it’s a 20-minute walk. Another possibility is to book a Grab which you drop off at the entrance, that’s easy!
Safari outfit
Surprisingly, we took the Grab to the park… Like real birdwatchers, we walked in our safari outfit to the entrance. A ticket costs 63 ringgit per person and this is converted €14. You can keep an eye on Klook’s app to see what prices they offer. This is often in combination with a transfer to your hotel. Ideal, because then you don’t have to walk that far up the hill if you are planning on doing so at all.
The Free-Flight Walk-In Aviary
The park is divided into four zones: The Free-Flight Walk-In Aviary, Elusive Birds, Hornbill Park and World of Parrots. Via a marked footpath, you pass all four zones. You walk a large circle where the entrance is also the exit. Zone 1 and 2 are connected via The Free-Flight Walk-In Aviary. This is indicated as the largest outdoor aviary in the world. It is nice to see that the birds here live in nature and are not locked in a cage.
Bird park
A few times a day there are feeding moments for the birds. We missed this every time, no idea how. Every time we arrived at the birds in question, they were already enjoying the papayas. I’m guessing the papayas were on sale and they’ve been having this for a while. You couldn’t miss the orange poop.
Peacocks
In several places, signs are telling you to watch out for peacocks. They look nice, but be careful not to get too close. Of course, people get way too close and even touch the animals. We weren’t such heroes and stayed safe watching from a distance. Most animals don’t bother people and just do their own thing. A large net hangs over the park, so the birds can’t escape and no other animals can get into the park. At a certain spot that didn’t quite go according to plan, because several monkeys came crawling through the hole and hung in the trees.
Parrot show
Twice a day you can attend the free bird show. We were curious to see what we would find and I imagined that a man with an eagle on his arm would tell us more about this bird of prey with its broad wings. Instead the show consisted of parrots showing tricks. Pretty impressive to see, but I do wonder if these creatures like it themselves or if they are locked up all day waiting for them to perform.
Bird lover
If you have some time left in Kuala Lumpur it’s nice to visit this park. Bird Park looks nice, but some cages seem very small. And also at the show, we wonder if this is good for those birds. I can imagine that as a bird lover you can get your heart racing, with all the different species you can spot here.

Papegaaienshow
Twee keer per dag kun je de gratis vogelshow bijwonen. Wij waren wel benieuwd wat we zouden aantreffen en ik zag al voor me dat een man met een arend op z’n arm ons meer zou vertellen over deze roofvogel met z’n brede vleugels. In plaats daarvan bestond de show uit papegaaien die trucjes lieten zien. Best knap om te zien hoor, maar ik vraag me wel af of die beestjes dat nou zelf ook leuk vinden of de hele dag zielig opgesloten zitten te wachten tot ze moeten optreden.
Vogelliefhebber
Mocht je tijd over hebben in Kuala Lumpur dan is het best leuk om dit park te bezoeken. Het Bird Park ziet er mooi uit, maar sommige kooien lijken wel erg klein. En ook bij de show zetten we ons vraagtekens of dit nou echt goed is voor zo’n vogeltje. Ik kan me voorstellen dat je hier als vogelliefhebber wel je hart op kunt halen, met alle verschillende soorten die je hier kunt spotten.
