    A new bird park opened in Mumbai last year, billed as "India's first exotic bird park". It covers 1.4 acres and houses "over 500 exotic birds from more than 60 species".


    Essel World launches interactive bird park

    Some of the key attractions are flying birds like African Grey Parrot, Blue Gold Macaw, Cockatiel, Rainbow Lorikeet, Toucan; terrestrial birds such as California Quail, Golden Pheasant and Ostrich; and aquatic birds like Black Swan, American Wood Duck, and Mandarin Duck.



    Their website is here: Bird Park is now open for friends & family


    There are a few videos on Youtube as well. The one below is from when they opened.

    Ironically, it is not India’s first exotic bird park. There is already a parrot park at Mysore with more species, but it is in a religious establishment and no photos are allowed. Just mentioning it, back to topic. This one appears MUCH better though.

    Their picture of a Zebra Dove is odd. They've photoshopped a Blue Scaled Quail crest on to it....
