Asia’s largest bird sanctuary reopens in Chai Nat

By The Nation

 

 

Chai Nat Bird Park, the largest aviary in Asia, has reopened for free throughout June to help stimulate tourism in the country after travel restrictions to contain Covid-19 were lifted.

 

The park 200 kilometres north of Bangkok has been thoroughly sanitised to ensure the safety of visitors, and most attractions have reopened.

 

 

Park staffer Saisunee Ngernchang said the aviary is strictly following Public Health Ministry’s preventive measures for Covid-19.More than 700 birds of various species are back on show for tourists, though the egg museum, selfie spots and the aquarium remain closed.

 

 

All visitors must wear face masks, cleanse hands with alcohol hand sanitiser and check in at the entrance, where park staff will check their temperatures.

Why in the world do they use that huge image of the North American bald eagle? Bizarre choice!

Also want to point out that "birds in cages" does not mean bird sanctuary. An actual bird sanctuary would set aside land, preserve habitat and the natural environment, and enforce prohibition on hunting. This is  public relations.

Actually a place to go and see caged birds!

Hope they've been fed while closed.
