Definitely
one of the best sites to be enjoyed while you
are in the park. Also situated in Zone 1 of KL
Bird Park, catch a glimpse of our Greater and
Lesser Flamingos gracefully sun-bathing in a beautifully
landscaped pond complete with a scenic man-made
waterfall.
One of the special features
of these gregarious wading birds originated from
Africa is their ability to stand on one leg, and
the characteristic pink colouration of their feathers
is caused by their beta carotene-rich diet obtained
from the pond they are living in.
At this Flamingo Pond, you
can also observe our pelican birds, another splendid
yet curious bird species with its enormous bill
and awkward heavy walk. This pond is also a favourite
spot for other wading birds inhabiting the free-flight
aviary especially early in the morning. You can
clearly enjoy this picturesque sight while taking
a break at our F&B kiosk, the Flamingo Terrace.
