Today we made two stops. We went to the MARDI Malaysian agriculture research and development institute and the Kuala Lumpur Bird Park. Both were great stops but this is Weyer’s Wildlife Wonders so I am going to focus on the bird park.
This park was built in 1991 and is now the world’s largest free-flight walk-in aviary spanning over 21 acres. This park is home to over 3,000 bird specimens. Including 5 species of horn bills.
I was so excited to come to the bird park because I purchased a super dope feild guide that I have not used enough on this trip. I was also really excited to see some hornbills from southeast asia.
I feel the best way to share about wildlife is to share photos! Take a look at the slide show of all of the fun species and activities we did at the bird park.
