Singapore's Jurong Bird Park

An Ideal Attraction for People on Family Vacation

Jurong Bird Park is a top-notch Singapore attraction, home to a collection of 8,000 birds from 600 species. There's a multitude of exotic and endangered Southeast Asian breeds, along with Pelicans, Penguins, Flamingoes, Toucans, and a whole lot more.

Frankly, I never thought of bird watching could be that fun. We may not pay much attention to birds in our surrounding because they are either too far away from us or we always see the same 'old' birds. It's a totally different encounters when you are in the bird park.

If this is your first time entering the park, you'll definitely be amazed at the countless types of birds that actually exist. Don't be surprised, like many others, this will probably be one of the most colourful, eye-catching and mesmerizing place you'll ever visit in your lifetime!


What Not to Miss

Walk-in Aviaries

There are few huge Walk-in Aviaries where hundreds and thousands of birds are allowed to fly freely as if they are in their natural habitat. Two of them not to be missed are Lory Loft and Southeast Asian Birds aviaries.

Bird's Feeding

During the Bird's Feeding Time, the birds come to you. There isn't any place that I have come across where the birds are so co-operative with us. They are always ready to pose in front of the camera with you. Check the feeding time for Bee-Eater & Starling feeding at the Waterfall Aviary. The other feeding session for the adorable penguins at the Punguin Expedition is also a must-see.

Bird's Shows

Two of the Bird's Shows are very professionally conducted. If you just have enough time for one show, go for the Birds of Prey show. However, Birds n Buddies show is equally entertaining.
