♥ Farm In The City: Butterfly Garden, Jungle Walk and Mood's Lake (Part 2)

Farm In The City Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3

Have you ever heard of Farm In The City which located at Seri Kembangan? No? 

Then I would like to invite you to read my first blog post about Farm In The City and then continue with the exciting experiences here to their Butterfly Garden, Jungle Walk and Mood's Lake. 

So, the Mood's Lake is kind of big and it locates next to the indoor exhibition hall. The view of the lake is quite beautiful and I supposed we can find swan, duck, goose, shelduck, teal and pochard here, as shown in the banner below. However, we only managed to spot swan and one species of duck. It is alright because we are not so into geese and ducks anyway. Let the photos do the talking.

After exist from the indoor exhibition hall, there is a small path which will lead you to the Butterfly Garden. You can refer to the directory board photo which I posted in the first blog post about Farm In The City. The Butterfly Garden is inside a netted garden. 

This photo is to show you the interior of the Butterfly Garden. 

There are some banners inside the Butterfly Garden regarding the butterfly life cycle, anatomy of butterfly as well as information about butterfly feeding and the butterfly species.

Next, I'm going to share with you some of the butterfly shots which I managed to snap. I really like these beautiful and colourful butterflies and they are doubtlessly an excellent subject for photography. A short note to you: I found many butterflies are dead lying on the ground, so please watch your steps and try not to step on them -. -

There is a also a small pond inside the Butterfly Garden. You can find tortoises, millipede and chameleon in the Butterfly Garden as well.

Next to the Butterfly Garden is the Jungle Walk.

The interior of Jungle Walk. I'm still wondering why they named this as Jungle Walk. 

The main highlight in the Jungle Walk should be the African crested porcupine. They are damn big in size but cute. You don't have to worry that they will attack you because they are inside an enclosed area with glass walls. 

With the exception of African crested porcupine, other animals inside the Jungle Walk are room free. You can find animals like peacock, iguana, tortoise, the world smallest species of madoqua, and etc.

So, do you like the butterfly garden, Mood's lake and jungle walk in Farm In The City? I will share with you more about Farm In The City in the upcoming post. First, the Pets Village where you can enjoy longkang fishing, fish feeding as well as rabbits and hamsters feeding. Second, the vegetable and fruit farm which includes ostrich, pigeon house, well, scarecow and cow feeding.

♥ Farm In The City, Seri Kembangan (Part 1)

Farm In The City Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3

Farm In The City (FITC) is a park that is completely free of cages where all animals are allowed to room free (except for those dangerous animals). In June, we had spent an awesome time at Farm In The City having close contact with so many animals as well as feed them. It was really an exciting experience and so I would like to share this here without any hesitation. However, the Farm In The City post will be divided into 3 parts or more, due to tonnes of pictures to be shared.

Farm In The City located at Jalan Prima Tropika Barat, Bandar Putra, Seri Kembangan, Selangor. I never heard about this place, but surprisingly this place is easily accessible. Just for your information, this is what you will see when you reach the destination- My Fiesta Garden Explore.Walk inside and turn right, then you will find Farm In The City.

I was walking to the Farm In The City after taking a right turn.

A closer look on the main entrance of Farm In The City. Very typical design of farm/ park.

Walk down the staircase and you will find this which shows you the direction to ticketing counter. In other words, the ticketing counter is located on your left side.

The ticketing counter. The entrance/ admission fees for adult and child below 12 years old are RM48 and RM38 (per person), respectively. But if you are a MyKad holder, you can get promotional fee at only RM30 for adult and RM25 for child below 12 years.

The directory board right in front of the ticketing counter. So, the entire park is subdivided into 12 sections: Mood's Lake, turtle and tortoise farm, bird aviary, reptile carven, rabbit farm, pets village, jungle walk, vegetable and fruit farm, savanna, longkang fishing and Kampung Mahmood.

Besides, there are also farm activities like toucan feeding, animal show, fennex fox feeding and pelican feeding. I do not go for any of these activities. Too busy with phototaking.

Mood's Lake is the first section which you will encounter. In this post, the focus will be on the world's smallest species of horse. More pictures of Mood's Lake will be shared in the next blog post.

There are only two horses. Look at the brown one, it pees when we were trying to snap its photo. Then, opposite of the world's smallest species of horse are Meerkat and Fennec Fox. 

Meerkat (Suricata suricatta).

Fennec Fox (Vulpes zerda).

Then spotted this little one running fast around and I really got scared. Cageless park is awesome but meanwhile some little one did freak me out, although they wont bite you or harm you. 

You can go for horse or pony riding as well (located beside the Meerkat).

Guess this antique car is for decoration purpose.

Then, what welcome us next is the different species of parrots. I supposed this section is the indoor animal exhibition hall. But then I saw the signboard showing Kampung Mahmood. We got a little bit confusing here.

Now I'm going to share with you all the parrots photo we had taken. They are colourful and gorgeous. 

(1) Blue-and-yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna)

(2) Green-winged Macaw (Ara chloroptera)

(3) Sulphur-crested Cockatoo (Cacatua galerita)

(4) Rainbow Lorikeet (Trichoglossus haematodus)

(5) Blue-fronted Amazon Parrot (Amazona aestiva)

(6) Black-capped Lory (Lorius lory)

In addition to the different species of parrots, other animals which you can see inside the indoor exhibition hall including:

(1) Prarie dog

(2) Flemish giant rabbit (The world's largest species of rabbit) 

(3) Striped skunk

(4) Ferret

(5) Channel-billed toucan

(6) Chick and duck

And this photo shows how is the indoor exhibition hall looks like.

I should stop the writing and photo sharing here. More photos will be shared in the upcoming post, particularly the Butterfly Garden and Jungle Walk of Farm In The City. 

Till then. ♥
