CCL '08 - Wildlife Park & Bird Paradise
Posted on Tuesday, June 10, 2008 at 12:01 AM in MyCutiSekolah-Out-n-About
When planning a fun outing for kids, you cannot go wrong by choosing a place that has live animals in it, IMHO. Like the zoo or the aquarium, to name a few. The more variety of animals, the better. Budak-budak sure impressed punya, especially if the animals are those that they most likely do not see on a normal basis (unless your parents own a pet store or your house is next to a zoo :P)
With that in mind, we decided to visit the Langkawi Wildlife Park. It rained and rained in the morning, but around noon the weather looked more promising so we decided to go ahead with our original plan. The cool thing about this park is that it has a fully covered walkway so even if it was raining (or extremely hot) you'd still be able to leisurely make your way around without getting drenched (or sunburnt).
As you enter the park, you'd come across a small booth that was set up for visitors who'd like to have pictures taken with a live bird. No payment necessary since you could use your own camera(s).
Sofea broke into girly giggles when the pakcik placed the green parrot on her arm. Aidiin, on the other hand, totally refused and preferred to just watch instead. I tried coaxing him into holding out his hand but he shook his head with a very persistent "Aidiin tak naaak!!!" and was almost in tears. A bit disappointed, I was, but I didn't want to push him further. Somehow he's been quite reluctant in trying out and experimenting new things lately. Ntah kenapa. Should I start worrying??
Further inside the park, there's a koi pond and a small garden where bunnies can run (or rather hop) around. Very very tame, these bunnies. Comel-comel belaka, but since it rained earlier in the morning, they looked comot and wet. They would hop over to greet you as soon as you step in through the little gate, especially when you are carrying a plastic filled with carrots.
Arnab yang comot
Aidiin hesitated at first, but later decided to join his sister and Ayah. Sofea hinted about wanting a pet bunny of her own. Ohhh... tidak bisa!!! I pretended not to hear her.
The park was a heaven for someone who was 'mabuk nak amik gambar' like me. There I was clicking away macam tak pernah jumpa burung. The park's landscaping was done quite beautifully to mimic the natural habitats of the wildlife living in it and one couldn't help feeling at ease at the tranquilness. Ada calming affect somewhat, what with the greenery and sounds of birds, wildlife and waterfalls.
It was also an excellent place to experiment different aperture settings and shutter speeds. *winks at Lollies*

We had earlier planned to drop by Durian Perangin Waterfall after the park, but it started to rain again so we decided to head back to the hotel. All four of us were exhausted (and hungry) but happy and satisfied.
