Endless 8 - Taking flight

This week is our last field trip for this semester. We went to Birds Park Kuala Lumpur.

Here's a picture of it - http://www.malaysiasite.nl/vogelpark.htm.

Before I start, I would like to thank to our Dean , for his generosity for sponsoring the whole class on this trip. :D

I have to say the Dean really know how to save the best for last because this last trip was something that I unsuspectingly thing it would be that great. The environment was clean, there were no trash in sight (by my eyes that is) and that bird do-do's aren't splattered all over the pave. The other thing that wows me is that the fact most birds are free to roam the area. Some are caged due to probably the dangerous factor that if the bird is disturbed, you'll get poked, hard. There were a variety of birds roaming in that park, but I mostly saw mini white cranes (can't remember it's name) and peacocks. The place was huge, it was divided into four sections. Other than just walking through and seeing the exhibition, they were also...

World of parrots exhibition. Here we got to try and feed the birds.

The Bird gallery. Features skeletons, preserved eggs and waxed body of some birds.

Bul bul land is where we can reat and see cute little birds flying about, and ducks swimming in their pond.

Nursery, where baby chicks and ducks are raised. And some were still in the incubator. Lastly is the Amphitheater, a bird show.

The downfall is that...

The peacocks aren't that much maintained. I don't know whether its mother nature or people pulling ion their feathers because some peacocks seemed to have lost some of their tails, but not entirely. If it's the people, they should add more observers so that can catch these criminals at hand.

Now about the environment. Like I said it's all big and nice, but still some parts like sewers, pipes and other man-made items (except the cage) should well hidden. There is this one place where the swan gathered, it was a nice place to take a picture but alas, it was spoiled by the black wall and hanging out pipeline. They should have gave that Disney magic in hiding unwanted, or spoiled things.
