KL Bird Park

I bought some KL Bird Park's discount vouchers some months back. Have always wanted to bring the kids for the trip. However it was postponed due to papa's oversea business trips (most the time) & kid's sickness. When we decided to go last month, haze occurred & papa on-hold the trip till the weather gets better.

So, last week, seeing the weather was getting better, I proposed to papa again for the trip & told him that my "vouchers" is going to expired soon. To my surprise, papa decided to take us to KL Bird Park. 1st July 2012 marks our "BIG DAY"! This is our ever first family trip - yes - me, papa & with our 3 kids! My twins were very excited the day before, as I told that about the trip & I reminded them to slept earlier to have energy for the trip & requested them to prepare for their own bag & etc.

I woke up very early that day to prepare porridge for JY - hum, that's the only food which he can took now, although he's getting to "terrible 2" stage now. Yet, sometimes he refused to take fully solid food - when he took a bit of hard food, which is hard to chew for him, he'll spit it out to you-yeah a very bad attitude for JY.
(The story behind this :- I guess the main reason is he "was used" to soft type food. From BB time - 18 months old, he was taken care by nanny. The nanny will blend all the cook porridge to feed him - I used to against it & requested the nanny to try to feed him on "solid food" instead to let him learn to chew hard solid food. But nanny told that he'll spit out - because he is used to solf type food. I guess it takes longer time for him to be fully on solid food, I'm glad that he is now able to take rice with vege & meats at mom's place.)

We left at 11am from Puchong to KL Bird Park & we relied on papa's GPRS. And frankly speaking, GPRS was the worst way of giving directory & directions to your destinations. We was turning here & there, reaching no where as we don't know how to go - GPRS was the only way & our help. Finally & luckily we find the place & reach there by noon.

The main entrance to the place was very narrow & crowded with people & car (maybe it's weekend & lots of visitors). We took roughly 20 minutes to wait for our parking. There was actually an open car park at a steet away from the place, but to us it was far as bringing the 3 kids for a walk will be torturing as my kids refused to walk by their own most the time, and I can't carry them anymore.

It was long queue for the ticket counter - luckily mine was at redemption counter. Vey fast, less than 5 minutes. The kids were excited for the walk & here we go. As it was noon time, it was very hot at KL Bird Park. Although there were shady trees for shading, you can still feel the heat in it. I was carrying a big bag - which some small snacks, waters & chrysathemun tea for cooling. For the kids, they were fully "equipped"..hehe I put hat on them for shading, in case they complaint "HOT" & of course JY is still too early to complaint with his words.

The place was nice for exploring the kids with nature & letting them to know about birds. We saw lots of peacocks in the park. They were very tame & tourist can just took photos with them. I asked my twins if they would like to take photos with the birds - to my surprise they refused & when I asked them the reason : They scared that the bird is going to bite or hurt them! Well, it seems that I can't forced the twins to take photos at all. On the other hand, JY was very fond of birds, he even wants to go further to touch the birds. Maybe at this stage, he is still not scared at all. We observed JY since BB time, he is always animal lover - he loves dogs, cats  birds. I remember that he used to took EQ's bolster as the bolster case was with small animal printing, I'll teach him the animals & he can uttered, I guess this interest started when he was small.

Going to the park need a lot of walking & walking - and my twins started to lost their patience as for them all birds are the same? And as weather is getting hot, they started cranky by refusing to walk, and when it started with EQ, next KH also complaining he can;t walk further on. Oh twins...and luckily we glad that JY is so enjoying the trip, as he wants to see the birds. As papa is carrying JY most the time (scared that JY is going to touch the birds & get hurt, and the road was slippery too), I took nice photos for them.

Our photo sessions :-

This is my favorite one - papa & the kids. JY was running towards me while I'm trying to take this photo. He was so cute & the naughty KH refused to take off his map ^_^

Some nice peacocks & flamingos.

My twins were very fancy on flamingos. They were tall, skinny & some were standing with one leg & they kept asking why & why...hehe

Remark
Although is was very tiring, I'm glad that all of us enjoyed the trip, especially the kids. They might not know all the birds, but picture show a thousand word, and I'm glad while I'm writing my blogs, KH was standing besides me & he can still remember what he did there.
I guess family trip doesn't need to be very expensive of going oversea for a luxurious Disney trips & etc., it could be just a small trip going to the park. The main objective is everyone is enjoying the trip & it enhance family bonds within us & siblings getting know to each other.
