Activities

Bird-watching is a common activity here where the flora and fauna is rich but yet mysteriously hides the birds from the naked eye. To watch the birds, one might need binoculars. The Kuala Lumpur Bird Park has earned the reputation among those who are keen on the study of birds in their natural habitat. Some of them include research scientists who monitor bird nests for the study of behavioral patterns.
