Himalayan Bird Park
The Himalayan Bird Park is a zoo in Shimla, India, that displays bird species native to the Himalayan region. The facility features open enclosures with natural surroundings where various birds such as peacocks, pheasants, and colorful parrots move freely.
The park was created to showcase Himalayan bird species and raise awareness about their protection. Over time, it has become an important local site for conservation efforts and environmental education in the community.
The park draws its name from the Himalayan birds it showcases, reflecting the importance of mountain bird species to the region. Visitors can observe how local species like the Himalayan Monal live and interact in their natural setting.
Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and walk along the pathways to view the birds from different angles. It is advisable to stay quiet and avoid making loud noises, as birds can be easily frightened and may fly away.
The park sits on a high hill with cool weather that makes birdwatching interesting throughout the year. In summer, birds arrive to breed, while in winter snow covers the ground and many species depart to warmer places.
