I normally boycott the KL Bird Park, a) because of the price difference between foreigners and Malaysians, and b) many birds were in bad condition some years ago. As I had free tickets I paid a visit in April 2011. I am not a lover of birds. I found the park interesting for an hour or so, then got a bit bored.
I felt it a shame that the hornbills seemed to be in the smaller size cages and weren't allowed to roam free, although one oriental pied was free at feeding time - they are fed meat and fruit The flamingos didn't have much pink colour, but the ostriches were in better condition than on my last visit.
There didn't seem to be a huge variety of birds, or maybe I just walked around too quickly!
Entry for foreigners in 2012 is RM48. Malaysians RM25.
