Bali Bird Park — Attraction in Pulau Bali

As someone who has been living in Bali for over 20 years, I thought I had seen it all. I’ve always been cautious about visiting places with animals, especially after some unpleasant experiences in other countries. But today, we visited Bali Bird Park — and it turned out to be one of the most touching and unforgettable experiences I’ve had on the island.

The experience actually started even before we saw the first bird. After a long drive, the first thing I needed was a restroom. Honestly, I walked in with low expectations — as we often do in such places — ready to hold my breath. But to my complete surprise, the restroom was spotless. Immaculately clean, with a pleasant aroma, it set the tone for everything that followed. When even the toilets are treated with such care and love, you know the whole place is run by people who genuinely care.

Yes, the tickets are not cheap, but now I truly understand where the money goes. The conditions these birds live in are incredible. Most of them are completely free within the park, flying around yet choosing to stay close to the people who care for them. You can feel the deep respect and love from the staff for every single creature there. The birds are not just well-kept — they are truly happy.

The parrots are gentle, friendly, and allow you to pet them — it’s magical. My son was in awe the whole time, amazed by the sheer beauty and diversity of the birds. We also visited the reptile park next door, and as a snake lover, I was thrilled to hold a five-meter python. That was an unforgettable moment.

To everyone who works at Bali Bird Park — thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your love and dedication to animals can be felt in every corner of this place. I highly recommend this park to anyone visiting Bali, especially families with children. It’s a genuine, soulful experience that will stay with...

Do not spend your money here! The ticket price is way too high for what you get here. Besides that, the care for the animals is very bad. Some examples: most of the birds have undergone a medical procedure called pionining, which means they cannot fly away while spending their lifetime on a small stick and with humans getting way too close too them. Also, they are being put on tourists' shoulders for pictures. This stresses them out and it shows, while they cannot flight. Many animal rights organizations and modern zoos consider pinioning or wing clipping to be inhumane. Instead, they could have housed the birds in spacious, enclosed aviaries. Also, the owl house was just too distressing for the owls. They are nocturnal animals, so they stay awake while it's dark. In the bird house it is dark 24/7, which keeps them active all the time. While entering the house the owls hear a loud sound, whereafter they kept screaming and looking at us in total distress. It was a terrible experience for us and for the owls. At 10:30 there was a bird show, which was also not okay; very naturally wild birds have been tamed for human entertainment. I know animal rights are not that developed in Asia as it is in Europe, but I think it is also because tourists are not aware of it and keep spending money on it. If you are in Bali, please read about animal rights before you visit anything adventurous with animals, like visiting a zoo, stop riding elephants and visiting dolphin zoos. I hope this review has made just one person more aware of it. Spend your money on jungle treks, where you can see these beautiful animals in the wild (believe me: it's a way cooler...

📍 Bali Bird Park Review

The Bali Bird Park is absolutely one of my favorite experiences in Bali—so much so that I’m already planning to come back next time I visit! I was so excited about this place. Out of everything I’ve done here, this stood out the most. I didn’t just like it—I insanely loved it!

The variety of birds is stunning, and the staff do a great job presenting them in a way that feels engaging without being overwhelming. The grounds are lush and beautifully maintained, and the interactive bird shows are a real highlight—you get to see the birds up close in action.

What really blew me away was how incredibly interactive and friendly the birds are. I thought I’d spend maybe 2 or 3 hours here, but I could have stayed all day. Every moment was a new adventure—looking, playing, and feeding the birds. It felt less like visiting a park and more like being part of a living, magical conversation with nature.

There are even flocks of flamingos and hens roaming around freely, which feels surreal and delightful, like they’ve casually decided to join your walk. Alongside them, the park has well-kept aviaries that house other species in lush little habitats, giving you a mix of spontaneous encounters and curated beauty.

One thing I’d skip next time is the lunch package—the food wasn’t very special, and meanwhile, everyone else was enjoying the birds. Better to eat outside so you don’t miss any of the magic inside.

If you love animals, colors, and joy, the Bali Bird Park is pure wonder. I can’t recommend it enough—and I absolutely can’t...
