Kuala Lumpur bird park
My favorite activity in KL was going to world's largest open air bird park. The scenery was beautiful and the birds amazing.

I learned something interesting while I was at Seaworld this January. Apparently, flamingos that eat their preferred healthy food, brine shrimp, are pink. Those that don't get enough shrimp will be gray. It looks like all the flamingos in this bird park aren't getting any. Maybe it's too expensive?
ReplyDeleteBut, Dan, what wonderful pictures! I want a parrot now!
It's as they say, "You are what you eat!" It appears they just eat that yellowish slop, although there were little minnows swimming around.
Deletethe bird tamer pics are awesome!
