Getting there - It is located within the Lake Gardens, and a walking distance from the National Mosque. Hop into a taxi, unless you prefer walking.

Butterfly Park, Bird Park and Orchid Garden


Located within the Lake Gardens, the Bird Park is home to more than 50 species of exotic birds roaming freely in one of the world's biggest open aviary. Shy ones, bold ones, ones that don't move and just stare at you, ones that wade and waddle below the rest that fly. Follow the path, and let nature overwhelm you with the colours it has endowed on its feathered counterparts. Listen to sounds that you would never guess have sprung out from a bird.

They can even pack them for long haul travesl...especially for travellers from abroad. Don't know if the soil can get through the stringent quarantine controls at the airports though...but the vendors insist that it's never been a problem for their foreign customers....
