There are more than 9000 birds here (of over 600 species), in a variety of themed exhibits. Highlights include a special climate-controlled home for five species of penguins; the world's first underwater viewing station where visitors can see the watery activities of all seven species of pelicans; the world's largest walk-in aviary with a 30-meter waterfall and 1500 free-flying African and South American birds; 500 parrots from 110 species; and colorful birds of paradise. You can also feed the lories, watch bird shows, and listen to informative talks throughout the day. An air-conditioned tram travels through the park, which is set amid a beautifully landscaped 20 hectares (490 acres). Kids will love the playground, which has a dry side and a wet side for extra fun on hot days.
