Jurong Bird Park in the Morning
Our time with the animals didn't end the night we left Night Safari the night before. Because we came in late in our hotel, we were decided to leave a bit late than usual.
How we got there:
1. Take MRT from Kallang Station to Boon Lay
2. Get off at Boon Lay. Find the bus terminal.
3. Take Bus 198 to Jurong Bird Park.
Similar to what we had in Safaris, we decided to take the tram first before we covered the park on foot. There were about 400 species of birds, with about 5000 flying and non-flying friends. :) Since they are everywhere, beware of poops and crossing birds. :)

We didn't miss out the shows, Flyers and Birds of Prey. Better check the show times for these.
After leaving Jurong Bird Park, we wanted to talk that famous Singapore walk, and take our pictures to the merlion. It will be our last day in Singapore tomorrow and we better get that shot! :)
