Birds Park, Hambantota
On the 28th of November 2014, Asia’s largest bird research center was inaugurated in the Hambantota region, adjacent to the southern province of Sri Lanka. This location was strategically selected due to Sri Lanka’s pivotal position at the southern tip of the Indian Ocean, which serves as a critical point for migratory birds.
Encompassing 52 acres, our institute boasts a luxurious resort designed to support both scientific research and leisurely stays. Guests have the opportunity to engage in research activities while enjoying a vacation amidst a rich bird habitat. Additionally, the facility features areas cultivated with fully organic fertilizers.
Our center is home to over 350 rare and exquisite bird species, with a total population exceeding 11,000 birds. Our primary mission is the breeding of endangered bird species, which are subsequently exported to international destinations. We also collaborate with global breeding centers for the exchange of rare bird species.
Moreover, our institution offers extensive resources for both local and international students to study and conduct research in ornithology. This initiative promotes collaboration between local students and international research centers while providing foreign students with a unique environment for their academic endeavors.
We place significant emphasis on the chick nurturing process. From the moment a chick hatches until it can feed independently, each chick receives dedicated and meticulous care.
