Welcome to birdsmalaysia.my!
This website was developed by ECOMY and launched & supported by Tourism Malaysia as a national gateway to the birds and birdwatching in Malaysia. There are many links and informative sites that have also been highlighted here and hopefully this will serve as an introduction or roadmap to those locally or foreign guests that are thinking of visiting us here in Malaysia.
We thank Leica Malaysia for their support of this page to the year 2021/2022. As a brand ambassador for their birding optics, I am proud to use their amazing products in my professional bird tours here and around the region. I personally use the one of the best optics namely my ever-trusting binoculars, the Leica Noctivid 10×42 and for birds perched or feeding far away, the best scope, the Leica Apo Televid 82 series.
Enjoy your trips, your walks and come and visit us here in Malaysia soon!
