Sabah is located on the northern most tip of Borneo and because of the varied habitats contained within its borders, supports one of the most stunning arrays of flora and fauna. This includes an amazingly abundant bird life that is becoming a star attraction for birders and nature enthusiasts from around the world.
Sabah has a remarkable range of habitats from montane forest to peat swamp, lowland rainforest to interior plains, and from the largest floodplain in Malaysia to coastal regions and islands that offer a truly exciting and rewarding experience for bird watchers.
A total of 688 resident and migratory species of birds have been recorded for Borneo, with 60 endemic species. Of major interest is the fact that many of these endemic species are found on either Sabah’s hill slopes or in its montane forest. The number of montane species is so significant that Mt Kinabalu, at 4,095m and one of the highest mountains in South East Asia is regarded as a distribution centre for all of Borneo’s montane birds. The lowland forest is home to more than 300 species of many colourful birds.
Locations to see these birds are easily accessible with comfortable place to stay.
