Appreciating feathered species doesn’t happen on a daily basis.
I and my 3 fellow expats dared the unforgiving sun last Saturday as we spent our weekend afternoon at Taman Burung Pulau Pinang or Penang Bird Park in Seberang Jaya which is about 7km from Penang Bridge Toll Plaza and also 7km from Butterworth Ferry Terminal.
Although we walked several meters from the bus stop just to reach those aviaries under the Malaysian sky and despite the fact that I perspired as if there’s no tomorrow, hehe 
I definitely enjoyed it for it gave me an alternative to my usual weekend inside a coffee shop of a mall.
The story of that ugly duckling that bloomed into a beautiful swan never fails to remind me that everyone may improve for the better. Swans may have been an icon of pristine fate in the same way that colorful birds like this blue and yellow macaw can also turn a negative mood into a brighter one in an instant.
From cute little ducks…
to my first sighting of pelicans…
and storks which I always perceive as the ones that deliver babies from the clouds as cartoons would depict them…
it was not difficult to morph into a bird lover in a blink…
Pink flamingos, yellow-beaked whatever and lotsa feathered creatures…
I wish someday I can capture them in flights and in their natural habitats.
I’d like to learn how to photograph them beautifully.
Do you like birds, I mean feathered creatures?
