Jurong Bird Park 2013 (Part 1)

It has been a while since I last visited Jurong Bird Park and since my little brother has not been here, Mommy thought it might be good to visit the park as a family.




First up, the Penguin Coast. The ship like structure is actually the penguin's exhibit. 




I really like penguins, especially the little ones, known as Humboldt Penguins. They are so cute!




You can catch the penguin feeding twice a day. Once at 10.30am and the next at 3.30pm. It was fun to watch as the penguins diving into the water for the fish.






We caught the Kings of the Skies show, where many birds of preys show off their hunting nature. This below is a vulture. Mommy read me a book which explains why vultures are bald. It is because they are such messy eaters, it's better for them to be bald than to be pieces of dead carcasses stuck to their heads!




The magnificent flight of a hawk. It was flying above our heads with its wings wide spread. So beautiful!




After the show, we strolled down to the Flamingo Lake and stopped by Swan Lake to have our pictures taken.





We spotted this graceful creature, standing on one leg, looking for its lunch, I supposed.




The next show was about to start, we'd better hurry.




We were just in time for High Flyer Show, where we were entertained by parrots, macaws, hornbills and many more.






After the show, we continued on, but Leonitus was getting a little cranky because of the weather and I had to stop and give him a lecture.




Look at this Victoria Crowned Pigeon, it had broken out of its enclosure! It must be quite brave for it to roam among the visitors.




Next, we visited Lory Loft where we can buy some bird food to feed the lories at this 9-storey high aviary.






This place is quite fun for children, because it has very cool suspension bridge and the lories are flying very near you, some even perched on your hand and shoulders!





There were many other exhibits that we visited, we enjoyed most of them very much because we can get up close to the birds and watch them as if they are in their natural habitat.




Jurong Bird Park visit was both fun and educational for us!
