One of the final things nosotros did earlier my stepsons returned abode to the United Kingdom of Great Britain as well as Northern Ireland of Britain as well as Northern Republic of Ireland was to accept them to the Jurong Bird Park. This was somewhere that I'd wanted to see as well as had heard proficient things about. Equally though I'd too heard of people non enjoying the sense due to some of the birds beingness kept in caged enclosures as well as thus unable to wing freely. As a trial I was non sure what to expect, that said though I personally had a real enjoyable day. For all the enclosed birds at that spot were too enough out inwards the open or if they were inwards enclosures they were ones that nosotros were able to walk through as well as relish the birds at closed range. My entirely want was that at that spot had been places in the enclosed bird cages with clear viewing points rather than entirely beingness able to aspect through the cage wires. More as well as so that there were better photograph opportunities for people (like me) with only regular cameras.
The plane common has an array of dissimilar habitat sections including Penguin Coast, Flamingo Lake, Parrot Paradise, Pelican Cove, Dinosaur Descendants with ostriches, emus as well as and so on, hornbills as well as toucans and a plane of prey section. Circumnavigating the whole common is a monorail (or panorail equally the common calls it) with several getting on as well as off points at diverse parts of the park. As you lot accept the ride at that spot is a recorded commentary virtually the birds beingness viewed, as well as equally much of the ride is higher upward the exhibits you lot tin laissez passer the sack relish the birds from a dissimilar advantage point other than just at the world level.
My ain personal favourites, apart from the penguins which I could happily lookout adult man for hours, were the African Waterfall Aviary, the waterfall tin laissez passer the sack endure seen inwards the photograph below as well as the Lory Loft. A photo of a slightly blurred Lory inwards the loft can endure seen below the photograph of the waterfall.
The African Waterfall Aviary is marketed equally beingness the world's largest walk-in aviary with a thirty metre high waterfall as well as over a G free-flying native African birds. I'm sure nosotros saw nowhere close that amount of birds whilst nosotros were inwards at that spot but the waterfall was sure enough real impressive.
The Lory Loft allows you lot to walk alongside (and feed) these incredibly tame brightly coloured birds. You truly walk alongside the treetops on a raised platform as well as the birds look to cause got no fearfulness of the humans wandering around. One even catching me inwards the confront with its wing equally it flew past, or possibly it was inwards fact getting its revenge??
The common puts on a let on of shows with the birds as well as nosotros did grab the 'Birds n Buddies' show. This was definitely aimed at children with a let on of staff dressed upward equally birds but nosotros saw equally well an array of birds including pelicans, vultures as well as macaws, a lot of fun. There are also several other shows but nosotros did non grapple to run across whatsoever of those.
As I said, despite the mixed reviews of the common that I'd seen previously I enjoyed our twenty-four threescore minutes menstruum out as well as would larn dorsum i time to a greater extent than if the chance arose.
Jurong Bird Park is opened upward daily from 8.30am to 6pm.
