KL Bird Park, Wild Life Photography

The Kuala Lumpur Bird Park is a public aviary in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It is a popular tourist attraction in the country, receiving an average of 200,000 visitors every year. It is located adjacent to the Perdana Lake Gardens of Kuala Lumpur. This Bird Park houses more than 5000 birds, from more than 50 species, in an enclosed aviary. Out of these 5000 birds, 90% are local birds and 10% were imported from overseas. The size of this bird park is around 7-16 hectares.

Quote from Wikipedia

To my surprise, there is quite a number of foreigner that came to this park. wow. Without MyKAD, the entrance fees is kind of ridiculous :) in my opinion.

Well, its worth it for me to make a trip there. I did ask myself, when was the last time i saw a bird. I mean, parrots, eagle, hornbill, flamingo..... wtf, quite sometime ago...

I am pretty much satisfy with the collection of photos that i manage to gather for the period of 3 hours. Awesome :)

Look Closer, Its Eagle Feeding Time....

Wikipedia tells me there is more than a kind of eagle. Please tell me which one is this.

Description: Eagles are large birds of prey which are members of the bird family Accipitridae, and belong to several genera which are not necessarily closely related to each other. Most of the more than 60 species occur in Eurasia and Africa. Outside this area, just two species (the Bald and Golden Eagles) can be found in the United States and Canada, nine more in Central and South America, and three in Australia.

Koi

Beautiful Landscape :) Nice Pond

Koi or more specifically nishikigoi, are ornamental domesticated varieties of the common carp (Cyprinus carpio) that are kept for decorative purposes in an outdoor koi pond or water gardens. They are also called Japanese carp.

Koi were developed from common carp in ancient China during the Jin Dynasty and were later transferred to Japanand Korea, where they are still popular as a symbol of love and friendship. A variety of colors and color patterns have since been developed; common colors include white, black, red, yellow, blue, and cream. The most popular category of koi is the Gosanke, which is made up of the Kohaku, Taisho Sanshoku, and Showa Sanshoku varieties

My bad for not taking note what species this is. Hence, couldn't elaborate further. Please comment if you know what does it call.

And again i was Googling for " small colourful birds ", it turn out to be thousand and millions of pages. It is not wise to spend entire day looking for the matching breed, colour, types of bird. Thus, no information available here.

It is Small - Blue - Very - Colourful - Bird.

Amazing Blue Peacock.

The term peafowl can refer to the two species of bird in the genus Pavo of the pheasant family, Phasianidae. The African Congo Peafowlis placed in its own genus Afropavo and is not dealt with here. Peafowl are best known for the male's extravagant tail, which it displays as part of courtship. The male is called a peacock, and the female a peahen, although it is common to hear the female also referred to as a "peacock" or "female peacock". The female peafowl is brown or toned grey and brown. The two species are:

Indian Peafowl, Pavo cristatus (Asiatic)

Green Peafowl, Pavo muticus (Asiatic)

Mandarin Duck

Mandarin Ducks, which are referred to by the Chinese as Yuan-yang (simplified Chinese: 鸳鸯; traditional Chinese: 鴛鴦; pinyin: yuān yāng), are frequently featured in Oriental art and are regarded as a symbol of conjugal affection and fidelity.

A Chinese proverb for loving couples uses the Mandarin Duck as a metaphor: "Two mandarin ducks playing in water" (simplified Chinese:鸳鸯戏水; traditional Chinese: 鴛鴦戲水; pinyin: yuān yāng xì shuǐ). The Mandarin Duck symbol is also used in Chinese weddings, because in traditional Chinese lore they symbolize wedded bliss and fidelity. The reason for this metaphor is because unlike other species of ducks, most Mandarin drakes reunite with the hens they mated with along with their offsprings after the eggs have hatched and even share scout duties in watching the ducklings closely. Though even with both parents securing the ducklings, most of them do not survive to reach adulthood.

Female Mandarin Duck

Have you came across this question

WHY FLAMINGO IS PINK IN COLOUR?

If so, why couldn't i turn pink by doing the same thing?

someone told me this is not flamingo just because the body is white in colour -.-:

Flamingos or flamingoes are gregarious wading birds in the genus Phoenicopterus, the only genus in the family Phoenicopteridae. There are four flamingo species in the Americas and two species in the Old World.

Man Made Water-Fall.

Look Closer - you might find that it is almost impossible to capture a photos with the movement of photos while at the same time freeze the movement of water :)

If you can do it, please share with me.....

Hornbill.

Hornbills (Bucerotidae) are a family of bird found in tropical and sub-tropical Africa and Asia. They are characterized by a long, down-curved bill which is frequently brightly-coloured and sometimes has a casque on the upper mandible. Both the common English and the scientific name of the family refer to the shape of the bill, "buceros" being "cow horn" in Greek. In addition, they possess a two-lobed kidney. Hornbills are the only birds in which the first two neck vertebrae (the axis and atlas) are fused together; this probably provides a more stable platform for carrying the bill.^[1] The family is omnivorous, feeding on fruit and small animals. They are monogamous breeders nesting in natural cavities in trees and sometimes cliffs. A number of species of hornbill are threatened with extinction, mostly insular species with small ranges

The Black Hornbill

Rainbow Lorikeets

The Rainbow Lorikeet, Trichoglossus haematodus is a species of Australasian parrot found in Australia, eastern Indonesia (Maluku and Western New Guinea), Papua New Guinea, New Caledonia, Solomon Islandsand Vanuatu. In Australia, it is common along the eastern seaboard, from Queensland to South Australia and northwest Tasmania. Its habitat is rainforest, coastal bush and woodland areas. Several taxa traditionally listed as subspecies of the Rainbow Lorikeet are increasingly treated as separate species.

Rainbow Lorikeets are true parrots, within the Psittacidae family, which are contained in the orderPsittaciformes.

Teluk Batik, Lumut

Short Introduction-

Teluk Batik Beach is located at the west coast of the state of Perak, about 6.5 km away from the town of Lumut. This beach is one of the most popular beaches among the locals as it is accessible by cars. There are ample of parking bays available and this beach is crowded during public holidays and weekends. The golden sandy beach is an ideal place for one to spend some time alone or a picnic with your family members. The beach is clean and you can swim here but the water can be murky during high tides.

This beach brings back memories.....

In Pangkor Island, to enjoy the unspoilt nature, tourist need to travel for another 15 minutes boat ride to a secluded island to have the experience of crystal clear water. Otherwise, its what we call crystal jade water... Uhgh... disgusting.

Crossing the sea, 10minutes later, you will arrive at Pangkor Island...

Authentic and Exclusively from Teluk Batik

This Pretty much Solve all the Drowning problem and No lifeguard is required around the beach.

Busy Weekend.... Different Experience from Bondi Beach / Surfer Paradise.
