In contrast to London parks with a large variety of free birds, Hongkongers have two options to see birds: to go to an aviary or to go the bird market. Hongkong Park aviary is a very fine one with two dozen species or so. Many of them seem to breed happily in captivity. Most of them are not too shy.
Free living birds in Hongkong are extremely elusive and hard to find. This may be so because of the bird market - birds see that they can be captured and stay away. I found very excited sparrows bouncing between the cages of captured birds of all species.
A view from the plane on Hongkong and its islands. There must be more birds in all the green spaces ....
