Here we are, .......at the Jurong BirdPark which is the largest and most impressive bird park in the Asia Pacific. I believe this is the first time I'll been to the bird park.
(Joe is exciting about this trip although his face does not show it.)
(As Joe is holding on to the map, he's leading the way.)
(Joe is telling dad where to go)
(The reason Joe is covering his mouth is because he lost his 2 front teeth)
There was the Birds of Prey show, some of these birds are huge, and are trained to fly incredibly close over the heads of the audience.
The collection of birds is just awesome and you can see everything from tropical flamingoes to antarctic penguins. Many of the birds are in the open and for those birds that may fly away, the park has huge aviaries where we can see them face-to-face.
(This eagle is huge!)
The park is well set out, and you can get on or off the panorail at any of the stations around the park (it costs extra though). There is a huge aviary full of lorikeets of all sorts, and a bonus is that you can feed them - a dollar will buy you a little cup of syrup that will attract the nearest lory, or perhaps two. Good photo opportunity.
(They are quite tame....)
(This is a 12 metres high suspension bridge. But you don’t have to worry because it’s very stable)
There are a huge number of birds from every environment you can think of and the exhibits are incredibly well done.
My verdict on Singapore Jurong Birdpark: Truly impressive.....
