Biak Bird and Orchid Park

[Rizz Carlton]

Biak Bird and Orchid Park is a bird park and botanical garden located in Ruar on Biak Island, off the northern coast of West Papua. Owned and operated by the Papua province forestry and enviromental agency, they specialized in the keeping, breeding, and research of birds and orchids of West Papua and beyond, including several noteworthy species.

They have several notable bird collection, such as the Papuan frogmouth, purple-tailed imperial pigeon, and Westerman's dwarf cassowary, all three of whom are actively bred there. Their most noteworthy collection, in my opinion, are a pair of ursine tree-kangaroo, which are native to Biak.

Footages of the tree-kangaroos and others are available on their Instagram.
