Bali Bird Park

Bali Bird Park & Reptile Park is a unique and educational attraction fit for the whole family. Two hectares of fine tropical gardens offer an interesting leisurely walk amidst the rich compilation of nearly a thousand exotic birds from the Indonesian archipelago and around the world.

The Bali Bird Park is located in the village of Batubulan, Gianyar Regency, is a fun and attractive playground for bird lovers and a convenient stopover for those on day tours and en route to the central regions such as Ubud as well as the gold and silversmith’s villages of Celuk and Mas.

Hundreds of different bird species can be found throughout the park grounds in the magnificent aviaries and individual enclosures. Several of the bird varieties jointly dwell and roam free on the open tree perches and in the interweaving ponds throughout the park grounds.

In addition to the main attraction, the adjoining Reptile Park offers an extensive assortment of reptile and amphibian specimens among the horticultural gardens. On display is the giant Komodo dragon with other specimens including pythons, lizards, geckos, toads, frogs, turtles, tortoises and crocodiles.

The Bali Bird Park appeals to families who have the opportunity to get close, touch, feed and view open displays of several tame species, as well as admire rare and exotic collections in their enclosures.

Each individual enclosure and aviary is complemented with an information panel that lists the common and scientific names of the specimen, their origin and species as well descriptions that help visitors to gain a deeper understanding of the live and active specimens in view.

The Free Flight Bird Show lets visitors marvel at the range of antics and abilities of birds of prey and other winged creatures in the collection. Magnificent eagles, owls, and macaws soar through the skies, dive down at dummy prey, and snatch food from their handlers to the amazement of the audience.

An interactive feeding time feature enables visitors to actively participate in the daily feeding schedules at the park. The keepers recreate the bird’s natural feeding environment – greater birds of paradise feed around you and amazing flycatchers perform aerobatics as you feed them.

A ‘4D Avian Theatre’ experience is a new and exciting feature for families at the bird park, showing the animation feature ‘Rilly’s Sky Adventure’. The film tells of a group of migrating ducks and the heart-warming but perilous quest of young Rilly the duck as he embarks with his family on his first migration south for the winter.

One of the missions carried out by the park management and team of ornithologists is to breed endangered species in captivity in order to preserve their species including the indigenous Bali Starling (leucopsar rothschildi) often referred to by locals as ‘Jalak Bali’.

Bali Bird Park features a special ‘Hatchling Area’ to show visitors several specimens in their early stages since hatching, their juvenile stages, and in their mature phases. The park’s successful breeding programs include rare parrots and the team houses and breeds over 40 protected species in the park.

You would be tempted to think that the birds in the trees and on the artificial perches could just easily fly away - but they simply don’t. And there are no nets visible in the open sky above the park grounds. Majestic peacocks roam in and around the open lawns, colourful toucans and parrots welcome you to play with them from branches – all ready for different poses and photo opportunities.

Inside both the Bird and Reptile Park are various food and snack, drink and ice cream kiosks, as well as a photo shop that creates digital photo prints on T-shirts. A gift shop sells souvenirs and merchandise, unique traditional Balinese textiles, and various curios and tidbits.

The Bali Bird Park implements its effective ‘bio security system’ which is a preventive action set up for the bird collection, staff members and visitors to the park. It has proven effective since its inception in 1995. Disinfectant footbaths are situated at every access to the park, and visitors’ arms and body are first sprayed with safe solutions by staff upon entering and leaving the park grounds.
