The makeover has increased the exhibition area on the left and the rear portion of the main showcase area. The new extension on the left will accommodate a selection of other species of wildlife.







A walk-thru parakeet house with hundreds of colourful birds is among the latest attractions as well. The Macaw Courtyard, Flamingo Pond, and the clever impersonations of the Cockatoo and Mynah are just a few of the many attractions that will amaze you. Langkawi Wildlife Park features more than 2,500 birds from 150 exotic birds species.



 






The new extension at the back houses a huge display of rare crafted and raw crystals from Brazil and China. You can spend hours in this area going through the dazzling array of crystal ornaments and art objects, which are also for sale.

Besides browsing through the vast collection, you will be enriched with a deep knowledge of crystals by the attentive and friendly staff. A recent revival of interest in the curative and therapeutic properties of crystals will surely make a visit here invaluable.

A traditional Chinese tea kiosk offers a wide variety and grades of Chinese teas. By the way, do you know that Chinese tea is also great for washing off permanent marker ink? If it can do this, imagine how it can benefit your innards as a cleansing agent

Eagle Watching in Langkawi

Don't miss out on Mangrove Forest and Eagle Watching on Langkawi Island. It a must when you are visiting the nice and beautiful islands of Malaysia. Eagle Feeding or Eagle Watching of the white-bellied sea eagle Eagle feeding is one of Langkawi's most popular activities.





While you are on one of the various boat tours, the tour operators will toss pieces of chicken to the eagles. This is a wonderful display, but encourages the eagles to rely on tourists for food, and not to hunt on their own. As a result, it is very destructive to the eagle population. Please do not support eagle feeding. Tell the boatman to keep the chicken for himself
