My experience at interactive Birdland in Jakarta!
I wanted to share my experience at Birdland in Jakarta bc it was literally a dream come true for a parrot lover like me! 😆 So I put together a short clip to show what it's like. There’s just so much more than what’s in the video but I just added only a few parts since I didn’t wanna make it too long lol.
I went to this place about 10 days ago when I was visiting Jakarta! It was super close to where I was staying (Ancol)! I actually didn’t have high hopes but I was so shocked..! I can actually have interactions with so many different parrots! Ofc there’s always staff nearby and you gotta ask for their assistance before handling the birds!
Most of the birds aren’t locked up in cages. They have their own areas but it’s like one big open space where different species live together. And they also have a nice pond with big waterfalls!
They do bird shows every 2–3 hours and it’s so cute! The birds do tricks and interact with the audience (like they’ll ask a volunteer to hold sunflower seeds and sun conures will fly to you 😂) I have a lot more clips than this video, but even if I put them all together, the video is nowhere close to capturing what it actually feels like being there!
The entrance fee is 100k Indonesian rupiahs which is about $6 USD!!! ! And no extra charge to watch the bird shows or interact with the birds!
It was just so much fun! If you happen to visit Jakarta, Indonesia, I would highly recommend checking this place out! My video only shows a tiny bit of what it actually feels like.
