Embraced by the sun and blessed by rain, Indonesia becomes the stage for a mesmerizing dance of countless birds. From the far west to the far east, each wing of these endemic birds carries a unique story of life, showcased in the expansive 6-hectare “Taman Burung” Bird Park at Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII).
The bird collection is arranged according to the distribution of wildlife across the Indonesian archipelago, based on the Wallace Line—an important biogeographical boundary. This line divides the park into the Greater Sunda and the Wallacea-Sahul regions. In the Greater Sunda Dome (Western Dome), visitors can stroll along an elevated skywalk while listening to the melodic chirping of birds from Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, and Bali, such as peacocks, mynahs, hornbills, and the iconic Bali starling. Meanwhile, the Eastern Dome is home to bird species from Sulawesi, Maluku, and Papua, including birds-of-paradise, cassowaries, parrots, and maleos—all freely showcasing their natural charm. Each dome is designed with vegetation that reflects the birds’ original habitats, offering an immersive eye-level experience.
More than just a recreational space, the Bird Park—home to the most complete bird collection in Indonesia with thousands of individual birds—also serves as a conservation institution, educational hub for students, and a research center for university scholars. Over 200 bird species, including protected and endangered ones such as the Javan hawk-eagle, have been successfully bred here as part of TMII’s ongoing conservation and preservation efforts.
In 2022, the Bird Park underwent revitalization and reopened in 2023 with a modern and lush new look. At its center stands the Maleo Amphitheater, a venue for bird shows and educational presentations. Nearby, the Bantimurung Cave leads visitors into a magical setting toward the tranquil Bantimurung Restaurant. From here, visitors can enjoy views of an artificial lake and even participate in interactive activities such as feeding the pelicans.
