Birdie! Birdie! Birdie!! BIRDIE!!!

During our visit to KL’s Malaysia’s bird park, advertised as the largest outdoor aviary on the planet, we certainly saw plenty of birdies. Rania, the ultimate birdie fan was thrilled to see so many birdies, of all sizes and colors. It was quite the collection of exotic birds. From being photographed with birds sitting on our heads, to feeding ostriches, to seeing a fun bird show, to seeing several species of hornbills, to walking through the well-landscaped grounds, complete with waterfalls and lush greenery, we had a great day at the Bird Park.

Immediately after entering the grounds, we were greeted by a large peacock that was in full display of the gorgeous tail feathers. Rania and Gabi were quite excited to see it. Soon the chorus of “birdie, birdie!” was unending from the joyful mouth of our youngest.

We also couldn’t resist the temptation of paying a few ringitt to have Gabi photographed with some birds. Daddy, of course, had to accompany his daughter for the photo-op.

For another few ringitt, Gabi and Rania got to feed the parrots. The girls were quite excited to hold the can of milk while the birds happily lapped up the food. Rania insisted on doing it by herself after a bit.

The bird show was also a highlight; Gabi was mesmerized by watching the birds ride bikes, raise the Malaysian flag, and drive little cars. Between “acts,” Rania would turn to me, shrug her shoulders and say, “uh oh birdie” to display her displeasure of the birds exiting the stage. At the end, the birds of prey even came swooping inches from our heads in a display that brought wide smiles to our girls lips.
