Malaysia - Singapore 2013: Jurong Bird Park

September 20, 2013
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. :)

What will greet you when you get off the bus

Our ride for today


Penguins! :) I think they are breaking their necks here. Or they must be sleeping. 
Owls. We cannot take good pictures since they are
nocturnal animals and flash photography is prohibited
in this section. 

Scarlet Ibis
Shorebirds - White and black Egret, duck and crowned pigeon

Parrot
Hornbills and Toucans
Lory at the Lory Loft

Few more lory shots

Birds of Prey
Ancient Birds and Dinosaur Descendants - Cassowary and Ostrich

Carribean Flamingos
 We also visited the Bird Nursery which you can see how these birds are hatched along with few days old chicks.
At the breeding Center, few days and weeks old flamingos.

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! :)
