Taman Burung Kuala Lumpur AKA KL Bird Park

Located in the serene and scenic Lake Gardens, close to the Orchid Garden and the Tun Abdul Razak Memorial, the Bird Park is one of the largest covered bird park in the world, sprawling 8 acres of verdant valley terrain. Here, for the first time in Malaysia, bird lovers can have a field day watching more than 3000 birds perching and winging about freely-in a totally natural and beautifully landscaped enviroment.

It’s around the area of Jalan Parlimen, if you can reach Jalan Parlimen there’s good signage all the way to the bird park. The Butterfly Park is nearby too.

It’s open daily from 9am until 6.30pm – it’s not that cheap at around RM30 per person, but it’s a great place to practice wild life photography.

The first thing you’ll see when you get there is monkeys, not birds.

You might remember this one and it’s swinging nipples.

Cheeky Monkey looks like he’s about to steal something.

It was my first time using a telephoto lens as I’d just bought it (The 70-300mm VR from Nikon) and sadly it was quite an overcast day, so I didn’t have the best light.

Feel free to ID any of the birds because I have no idea what any of them are.

There’s various sections in the bird park where you there are a few activities like a Photo booth, bird feeding, some kind of history of birds and a few others bits of interest.

    I’ve been to the park. It is really big and filled with beautiful birds. Nice shots you had there. Worth investing in the lens huh.

    Your photos are great, as usual.

    KY: Didn’t know that, are you sure?

    Hijackqueen: Yeah it’s huge, I’ve been 3 times I think, I’ll go again soon when the weather is good.

    d’Fish: Haha no, didn’t see that – I think the rain had cooled them all down. I’m using Nikon D200, D40x is a great camera, if you can stretch your budge a little more though I suggest you get a Nikon D80.

    illusionist: Thanks 🙂 I’m not really happy with this set though, hope to go back again soon.

    Kewl pictures! I wonder if it was the bird sactuary I went to when I was a kid [1972]. I’ll have to try and dig up the family slides of the day! 🙂

    atm i’m using a canon powershot a430, but i’m thinking of upgrading to the canon eos digital 350d, how does it compare to nikon d40x? personal experiences please…

    anyway if you happen to be in s’pore do visit the jurong bird park or the night safari, it’s good for wildlife photography too, plus night photography.

    From the tag you are using Nikon D200. But may I know which lenses are you using for the above shots and whether all are handheld or using tripods.

    I am asking because your shots are super sharp and very very nice and would like to emulate them. Brilliant photos.

    gazard: Was just bored and waiting for the rain to stop, focused on the drips coming down from the roof and liked the result!

    Dabido: It might well be, let me know if you manage to find out.

    easyriderlovescs: You may aswell get the 400D, latest model. If your budget can stretch a bit further get the Nikon D80 – great camera! Will check out Singapore if I get a chance.

    Chioque: I shot all of these with the fairly cheap 70-300mm VR lens from Nikon which came out this year. All are handheld, most at ISO400. The VR helps.
