The Labuan Bird Park can be found near the Chimney at Tanjung Kubong. This tranquil bird park is surrounded by a well-landscaped garden and walking paths. It has three large dome-shaped cages surrounded by beautiful trees and flowering plants. A slow, relaxing walk within the bird park is recommended if you wish to escape to a more peaceful surrounding where you can drink in the beauty and marvel at a large variety of tropical birds from around the region, under the same roof.
Labuan Bird Park is home to many species of Borneo birds only likely to be encountered by bird watchers in the deep forests of Borneo. But there are plans to collect a good percentage of the 580 species of birds found in Borneo’s diverse habitats, from mangroves along the coast to forests in the mountains, and increase the number of residents at this bird park. Unlike bird watching in the wild, here at the bird park, nature lovers and do some bird watching without the arduous treks in the jungle or any need to tow expensive equipment.
Labuan Bird Park on the northern end of Labuan island, accessible via Jalan Tanjung Kubong. For more information, please contact the Labuan Tourism Action Council office at 6087-4226622.
