Birds and Fish
In the streams of the gardens is home to two varieties of carp, the Gin Rin koi and Butterfly koi.
All over the gardens, there are different kinds of birds. Some of them share the air and fly amongst the butterflies, some swim in the streams with the fish. The birds of the gardens are popular attractions, because of their antics and behaviours that rises the entertainment value for the visitors. The most popular birds in the gardens are Spike the Puna Ibis, Leo the Orange-winged Amazon Parrot, Mango and Houdini, the Caribbean Flamingos, whom usually interact or show off their behaviours to visitors. Other such birds at the gardens include finches, canaries, parakeets, a white-cheeked turaco and more. It is interesting to note that none of the species of duck in the Gardens quack; rather, they whistle or chirp. One of the most notable is Duchess, the sole survivor of her clutch, who is a Puna Teal duck.

Famous quotes containing the words birds and/or fish:
“Novelists do not write as birds sing, by the push of nature. It is part of the job that there should be much routine and some daily stuff on the level of carpentry.”
—William Golding (b. 1911)
“I love meetings with suits. I live for meetings with suits. I love them because I know they had a really boring week and I walk in there with my orange velvet leggings and drop popcorn in my cleavage and then fish it out and eat it. I like that. I know I’m entertaining them and I know that they know. Obviously, the best meetings are with suits that are intelligent, because then things are operating on a whole other level.”
—Madonna [Madonna Louise Ciccione] (b. 1959)
