One of the world’s largest covered bird parks and home to over 200 species of birds. The park spans 20.9 hectares and is split into 4 zones. Many of the birds, including colorful peacocks, are free to roam around within the zone, providing excitement from the moment you arrive.
Zones 1 and 2 are free-flight, walk-in aviaries with peacocks, stalks, ibises and doves to name a few. Enclosed aviaries contain love birds, brahminy kites, owls, flamingos, and bulbuls. Zone 3 contains rare and beautiful hornbills which you can admire while enjoying a drink at the Hornbill Restaurant and café. While zone 4 is home to friendly parrots who love to be fed under staff supervision, as well as flightless birds, oriental birds, and the amphitheater where daily bird shows are held.
