Tehran Bird Garden

Tehran Bird Garden is located in northeast Tehran, on Kuhestan Street (Ghasem Abad), which leads to Esteghlal Boulevard, in the eastern part of Lavizan Forest Park. The garden covers an estimated 23 hectares and is considered one of the largest bird gardens in Iran. It is designed so that the birds' living environment is as natural as possible and resembles their original habitat.

More than 6,500 birds of various species are kept here. The garden is divided into two main phases: the first phase, called "Dashtchar", houses birds that are either kept in cages or cannot fly, while the second phase, called "Abchar", is for birds that can fly but are kept from leaving by a specially designed net and shell enclosure. The garden features paved paths, a wooden bridge, ponds, small waterfalls and gazebos for resting, all of which make for a pleasant nature-walk experience for visitors. Facilities such as a café, a restaurant, an internal transport service (electric van), a car park and wooden benches have also been provided for visitors' comfort.

To reach Tehran Bird Garden, visitors can use a private car or public transport. The exact address of the complex is: Hengam Street, 35-meter Esteghlal Street, Kuhestan, Lavizan Forest Park. Visiting hours are usually from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Ticket prices vary from year to year; for example, in 1403 (Solar Hijri) the price was announced as 90,000 tomans. A visit to this garden offers a unique opportunity to get close to nature, listen to the songs of many kinds of birds and enjoy a calm, pleasant walk among greenery. Visitors are also advised to follow the rules of the complex, in particular to respect the birds and not to feed them, so that they have a safe and enjoyable experience.
