KL Bird Park (Part 2)

Continued from Part 1

The shy chattering lory...
"Miss, it's not polite to take my rear photo..."

Securely lockedThe Brahminy Kite The yellow-billed stork peering up at me. I was up on the bridge looking down.Can you guess what this is?
(Answer: Ostrich foot) Lots of flamingoesFound one sleeping alone
(It's interesting to see birds sleep standing on one leg) Fiery red hibiscus Interesting spotting of a branch that looked like an arm with fingers Ballerina egret
(First it stretched its right leg, then its left, and at the same time spreading its wing) Hungry! It's 2.30 PM and we went to the Hornbill Restaurant for our lunch. Love the cosy ambience and lovely oldies they played there. We continued our bird park walk-and-shoot after our meals. Nothing beats an icy glass of iced lemon tea My grilled chicken chop
(Oooops... here I was at the bird park and *gasp* feasting on a bird!) Ray's fried koay teow (or, flat noodles) Spotted a hornbill outside and abandoned food to take photo of the beautiful bird "At your service, Mademoiselle" There are more so stay tuned! Meanwhile, please visit Facebook to view more of Part 2.

  1. Thank you for sharing the beautiful photos, Alice. I especially like the one of the egret. And you're making me hungry with the those food photos. It's not even lunchtime here yet!

  2. The Ostrich foot looks so odd! I'd probably have guessed that was a tree root :P

    Lovely pictures, especially the ones of the egret and the flamingoes.

  5. Enjoyed viewing the pics, Alice!
    I know my daughter will be excited to see those flamingoes again...we took her to the zoo some time ago and she really enjoyed it!

    The pic of the branch looks interesting.

  6. Thanks, Barbara! The birds look even more vivid real life. I just feel that I could stay there all day long enjoying their presence (minus the poo smell LOL).

    Ooo... I have lots of those egret pics. I think I'll upload more into my Facebook. Thanks, Wendy!

    Thanks, Nymeth! The ostrich foot was humongous and certainly looks powerful! I dare not think what'd happen to me if I were kicked by an ostrich...

    Hi Jen, thanks! Also feel free to use them if your Home Schooler or Little Man wants them. :D

    Thanks, Renee and you have a great week ahead too!

    Hi Melody, no doubt flamingoes are special birds and pretty too with the unique beak and rosy pink long legs. They do look kind of sexy, dont' they? LOL. As for the branch, it has to be viewed from a certain angle while being there. From another position, it looks just like any other branch... I literally reversed my steps to take a quick photo. :D

    To ALL: Have a great week ahead!

  10. Yes, Wai Seng, they are! I especially like the 'musketeer' one (second hornbill pic). LOL.

    Thanks, Rachel! Seeing them doing their thing 'live' was even more awesome. :) I truly marvel at God's wonderful creation.

  11. What a lovely and beautiful birds! I love the "shy" bird. And the Ostrich foot look weird but long and big.

    I'm enjoying your collection of birds shot, Alice. Keep them coming!
