Jurong Bird Park


At the other end of Singapore from where we stay, there is the Jurong Bird Park. It's basically a zoo that mainly exhibits the different species of birds. Since years ago, it's been upgraded a bit. There is a new monorail system that brings us around the park. But you can only go once around. There were a couple of pretty interesting bird shows. Especially the one with the big birds like vultures, owls, hawks, eagles...

And there were lots of new exhibits. There is one where we went into a huge aviary of mainly Loris that we can feed. They are really pretty, from green to bright red. It's also the first time Bryan's been this close to a real bird.

Their main attraction was the waterfall aviary, where it's supposed to be one of the largest manmade waterfall in the region. I wonder if they recycle the water used for the waterfall. It was quite a hot day that day and by the end of it, we were exhausted. Well, I was anyway. I still think the Singapore Zoo's still a better place to visit though.
