Bird park in Malacca set to be tourist attraction

Visitors to the Bird Park get up close and personal with a macaw.

In 2011, the state government embarked on an ambitious plan to turn the Malacca Botanical Park in Ayer Keroh into an aviary which would be on par with Singapore’s Jurong Bird Park.

The then Chief Minister Tan Sri Mohd Ali Rustam engaged local and foreign botanists, horticulturists and ornithologists to outline a framework with the aim of turning the park into an international attraction.
