GEORGE TOWN: Malaysia’s first bird park, which opened its doors 35 years ago, is slated to undergo upgrading works costing RM10mil to replace old facilities with new ones.

Penang Bird Park director Dr Gino Ooi said the upgrading project of the 2ha park in Seberang Jaya, believed to also be the largest in the country, was expected to start early next year.
