Patronas towers and KL Bird park

The most iconic buildings in Kuala Lumpur are the Patronas Towers
They have a park on one side with a lovely fountain. They have a giant mall inside which I would like to say I didn’t spend much time in, but… air conditioning. It has been about 5F hotter this spring than usual.
Unfortunately (in the US) named cosmetic store.
But also sensible orthopedic shoes with sparkles! Why don’t we get more of this in the US?
It lights up very nicely.
KL bird park: a super giant area netted off into 4 zones of birds.
Some bird need their own space, but so many are just free roaming.
This is in the parrot house.
And this
And this… you buy a tiny cup of milk and they come to you to drink it.
In case you don’t want to watch the whole video
Another animal who wants my sweaty head
These crack me up
Ok last bit of this experience
Then we went to the bird show. Totally hokey but I’ve never seen a bird do a series of flips on a hoop. Have you?
Or race to get three rings on a peg.
Or know it’s shapes and colors
Or use a slide
Crowned crane
Night heron
Crazy amount of birds wandering with you
They might be a bit too tame. But this means the staff put food there regularly, not patrons.
This guy was one of my favorites. I’m sad to find out it is a kind of pigeon.
He looks so sheepish. I wonder what he’s been up to…
I’m really not sure why these cranes. Are all facing the fence and displaying, but to each their own.
We stopped for a snack and this guy really thought we would share.
Wait for it…
Wait for it….
TA DA!!!!
And….Cassowary! These are so cool, saved him for last.

    emu-gerd!! (Get it?) I just discovered all of these in my spam folder! I get to relive several weeks you’ve already been there and done that with. 🙂 And hey, La Mer is made with seaweed supposedly gathered here in Portugal. Which is why I put all the marine flora on my face when I can. And Jesus those are tall buildings!

      Yay! Hi Lesa! I know it is La Mer, but when I first saw it at an angle I just saw lamer. I’m glad you get all the seaweed on your face. Maybe that’s why you still look so young. I have recently been trying snail cream. I didn’t know that was a thing until the pharmacist suggested it in Thailand. It seems quite soothing. Ok, now I have to admit I don’t get emu-gerd…please explain.

    Hi-  The towers are so unique and spectacular that they make me smile…   The bird park with the great variety of shapes and brilliant colors is amazing…  I’m a bird lover…  although I have never seen a performing bird before  [ talking,  yes  ] !  Maybe ready for Americas’ Got Talent?  Also, you could ask if the peacock at the bird park is a distant relative of a peacock in Loxahatchee,  FL that lived on my roof…  It is a small world….   Love,  Marilee

      Hi Marilee. They really are. The way they are at all the different angles makes them really sparkle at night. I thought of you with all the birds. Zarah always remembers the peacocks at your house. She loves them. I thought the performing birds were pretty cool
