Embraced by the sun and blessed by the rain, Indonesia becomes the stage for an endless spectacle of avian dances. From the western edge to the eastern expanse of Indonesia, each wing of these endemic birds carries a unique life story, showcased in the six-hectare Bird Park at TMII.
The placement of the bird collection is organized according to the distribution of animals in Indonesia based on the Wallace Line, dividing the park into Greater Sunda and Wallacea Sahul. At the Greater Sunda area, visitors can explore the dome by ascending the sky walk, where the melodious calls of birds from Sumatra, Java, Borneo, and Bali, such as Peafowl, Cockatoos, Hornbills, and Bali Starlings, enchant the senses. Meanwhile, in the eastern dome, birds from Sulawesi, Maluku, and Papua, such as Birds of Paradise, Cassowaries, Parrots, and Maleos, wander while showcasing their allure. Each dome presents a vegetative environment resembling the birds’ natural habitats with an eye level approach.
More than just a recreational space, the Bird Park, boasting the most comprehensive bird collection in Indonesia with thousands of birds, has also transformed into a conservation institution, an educational center for students, and a research site for scholars. Over 200 bird species, including several protected and rare species like the Javan Hawk-Eagle, have been successfully bred here as part of TMII’s breeding and preservation efforts.
In 2022, the Bird Park underwent revitalization and re-emerged in 2023 with a modern and serene new look. The Maleo Amphitheater stands at its center as a venue for bird shows and presentations, while the Bantimurung Cave transports you into a magical ambiance leading to the scenic Bantimurung Restaurant. From this restaurant area, visitors can enjoy views of the artificial lake and participate in interactive activities such as feeding the pelicans.
