KL Bird Park and the Twin Towers

We decided to go a bus tour of KL - ended up ditching the tour and getting a grab rather than sit in the gridlock which is part of life in KL.



Lots of the locals get around on Motor scooters.  Everything is optional - red lights, walkways, crossings, one way streets... just make it up as you go!


We decided to go to the KL bird park for a change of speed.  I have seen more cassowaries in Malaysia than I have seen in Australia on this trip!


Golden Oriole.




Fancy pigeons over here - plump ;-)





Some very funny looking owls.


This was one of the local kingfishers that was flying around looking for something to eat.


First time I have ever seen a toucan!  Close relative of the horn bills apparently.


Blair and Ellen - Ellen just a tad excited about playing with the birds.  Similar to our rainbow lorikeets but with some vibrant colours on their breasts.





Lots of the other birds are familiar to their Australian counterparts, such as egrets and herons.  The hornbills were the standout bird for me which I got to photograph in the wild in Borneo.
