The first phase of the Bird Garden was reopened in early 1992, which is located in the eastern part of the park. The area of ​​the bird garden is more than 23,000 hectares and the main plan includes two phases, north and south.}

_{Initially, more than 20,000 different bird species were housed in the garden; You can see 250 different Asian and African breeds and species such as parrots, pigeons, owls, eagles, vultures, hawks, peacocks, flamingos, ducks, ostriches and all kinds of water birds, etc. in this beautiful garden.}

_{One of the popular cultures that has long been rooted among Iranians is the keeping of domestic pigeons. In the past, pigeons were trained to write letters, but over time, the culture of keeping pigeons gradually disappeared from Iranian homes. But one of the most interesting and memorable parts of the bird garden is the pigeon house located in the northwestern part of the park. This dovecote is built in the Safavid style and brings to life the memories of the past in our minds.}
