Bird Watching
 From muddy mangroves to misty mountain ranges, Malaysia’s diverse tropical landscape teems with hundreds of resident bird species. The country’s location on the Australasian cross-migratory paths also makes it a host to 120 or so migratory birds. With over 600 species to be seen in the Peninsula and about 580 species in Malaysian Borneo, all at easily accessible parks and reserves, it is no wonder Malaysia has emerged as a bird watching haven.
Half of Malaysia’s land mass is covered in rainforests or plantations. With this diversity of habitats, there are many places for the abundant birdlife to choose from in this country. Malaysian rainforests are generally divided into three distinctive habitat types – coastal mangroves, lowland rainforests and mountain forests.
Be amazed by the sheer diversity of beautiful and exotic birds, take pictures and learn about these enviable creatures. For a wild time just watching your feathered friends, the time is now, the place is Malaysia.
