Kuala Lumpur, the capitol of Malaysia, was just another big city but did have a very interesting area where there was an Islamic art museum, a large green area and several small parks for animals, butterflies and the largest open air bird sanctuary in the world. I have two handduls of Lorikeets and they weren't leaving until all the seed was consumed. There were at least 150 of these in this open area.

There were several of these scarlet curlews in the park. Like the whote ones in Florida just a bit flashier. I have several pictures of birds I have never seen up close nor in any books. The park was at least 20 acres and almost entirely enclosed with nylon mesh. The vast majority of the birds were dree to fly about. The park was, for me, the highlight of Kuala Lumpur.
