Give It to the Birds

If you ever need an easy but cool adventure in Hong Kong, then you should check out the Yuen Po Bird Market near Mong Kok.

One street devoted to birds.

Why?

Well in Hong Kong, apartments are TINY, which means there isn't a lot of room for an animal companion so many locals will get a bird for a pet. They can sing and they don't take up that much space.

The Bird Market had everything you needed to have your very own Tweety Bird. They had cages,

they had bird food,

and, of course, they had BIRDS!!

A REAL TOUCAN!!

But birds weren't the only attraction at the Yuen Po Bird Market, there were many locals socializing and playing card games.

My friend Jenny summed it up when she said, "All there is is gambling, birds, and old people."

But it's still definitely worth checking out. 

And the flower market is right next store.
