The country’s location on the Australasian cross-migratory paths also makes it a host to 120 or so migratory birds. With over 600 species to be seen in the Peninsula and about 580 species in Malaysian Borneo, it is no wonder Malaysia has emerged as a bird watching haven.

Half of Malaysia’s land mass is covered in rainforests or plantations. With this diversity of habitats, there are many places for the abundant birdlife to choose from in this country. Malaysian rainforests are generally divided into three distinctive habitat types –coastal mangroves, lowland rainforests and mountain forests. Swampy mangrove forest eco-systems, where saltwater meets freshwater on the coastline fringe, are home to birds such as the Common Kingfisher. Lowland rainforests, including freshwater swamps, peat and hill dipterocarp forests, remain the most extensive habitat for over 200 birds, among them are the Storm’s Stork and Green Imperial Pigeon. Mountain forests generally occur above an elevation of 900m, where species such as the Mountain Peacock-Pheasant and Mountain Blackeye thrive in the cool, damp climates and stunted trees of these high altitude regions.

Be amazed by the sheer diversity of beautiful and exotic birds, take pictures and learn about these enviable creatures. For a wild time just watching your feathered friends, the time is now, the place is Malaysia. Malaysia has two distinct parts which is separated from each other by South China Sea. This country is located in the humid tropics and this provides a favorable climateto support diverse life forms, from microscopic organisms to macroscopic species such as fishes, birds and mammals. The terrestrial ecosystems in Malaysia include various types of forest and agriculture land ranging from coast to highland.
