Field Trip to KL Bird Park

It was a field trip organized by my children’s kindergarten and it was meant for children from year 4, 5 and 6. Year 3 children could join with one condition: They must be accompanied by their parent(s).

A dilemma had risen within me. If I tag along, my middle child, Wayne, would stick to me instead of following his group but on the other hand, my daughter, Nyn, has been talking about the trip day and night. How can I say NO?

Yup, you guessed it right! I gave in!


*fast forward*

We finally arrived at our destination by bus.


Before going in, the children were brought to the mobile toilet outside the entrance.


Birds that we saw: the hornbill, the eagles and hawks, the Lorries, the lovebirds, the storks, the parrots, the peacocks, the peasants, the emus and ostriches and etc.


The children were excited to see birds of all colors. Besides birds, there are fishes too.


Can you guess what this is? Answer will be revealed in my next post.


The nursery is a MUST SEE! We actually see eggs in the incubator and little chicks hatched in there.


What about birds feeding? Sounds fun, eh? Well, we managed to feed the ostrich with vegetables. If you visit the bird park, walking at your own pace, you would be able to feed other birds as well.


If you would love to take a photo with the birds standing on your shoulder or your hand, you can do it here and the price listed is RM5 per shot (with your own camera) and RM20 (with the their camera and a printout)


The last stop was the bird show. The bird show was actually not up to my expectation but generally enjoyable for the children.


The field trip ended with a meal at the restaurant in the bird park.


An enjoyable trip, I would say but guess what?


I became the weight lifter
that day and was so exhausted when I came home. Why the weight lifting you may ask. Well, that’s because my little daughter fell asleep while watching the bird show and I had to carry her all the way to the restaurant and I tell you, she is not light at all!


Nice experience overall.

Eh, what a co-incidence. My children's kindy also organized a field trip to Bird Park. I suspect Bird Park management had invited all kindies to make a field trip there?

Anyway, I didn't go, as I was busy myself and I was too paranoid to think about leaving them roaming around with just a number of adults keeping an eye on them. Yeah, I need to let go sometimes...

My children were disappointed, but I promised them to go as a family trip instead. A promise yet to keep.
