Telangana: KCR Urban Eco Park to have rare, exotic birds soon

Visitors to the KCR Urban Eco Park, an already popular destination in the State, will soon have the opportunity of witnessing rare and exotic birds as an exclusive aviary is being set up on the park premises.

Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao is likely to lay the foundation for the bird enclosure at the park during his visit to Mahabubnagar on Friday, Tourism Minister V Srinivas Goud said.

The aviary would have 800 different exotic birds and would be one of its kind in the country. The idea was to offer an added attraction for visitors at the park, he said. Accompanied by district Collector S Venkat Rao and other officials, the Minister inspected the site location and held a meeting with forest officials here on Thursday.

According to forest officials, the aviary would be developed in an area spread over two acres. Visitors could walk along the pathways developed in the aviary and can closely witness rare exotic birds that are arranged from different places.
