One of Asia Pacific's largest and most impressive bird parks,
Jurong BirdPark offers you an experience that is entertaining
as well as educational. Its landscaped environment is home to
over 8,000 birds from 600 species, displayed in huge enclosures.
The bird shows at the Pools Amphitheater featuring flamingoes,
macaws, hornbills and cockatoos are both spectacular and funny,
and recommended particularly for children. To watch magnificent
birds of prey in action, catch the 'Fuji World of Hawks' show!
The Southeast Asian Birds Aviary houses in its 24 individual
aviaries and a main walk-in aviary, more than 100 species
of birds from the equatorial jungles of Southeast Asia. The
birds' natural equatorial habitat is recreated within this
exhibit, including simulated tropical thunderstorms everyday
at noon. Another walk-in aviary not to be missed is the Waterfall
Aviary, home to more than 1,500 free-flying African birds.
In 2001, the BirdPark added the Riverine exhibit, a simulated
natural freshwater river habitat featuring various species
of waterfowl, fish and turtles. Here, you can watch more than
20 duck species diving in the water.
The latest offering from Jurong BirdPark is an all-new breakfast
program complete with a star-studded bird cast. Known as "Pelicans,
Parrots and Prata", the program takes place at the Songbird
Terrace overlooking the Flamingo Lake, with breakfast available
from 8am to 10:30am and the show beginning at 9:30am. The
breakfast buffet is priced at SGD 13.50+ for adults and SGD
9.50+ for children. Prices quoted do not include admission
to the park. For reservations, call (65) 6-264-2055. For a
sumptuous lunch, try the international buffet or a la carte
at The Lodge on Flamingo Lake - a theme restaurant overlooking
a flamingo-filled lake.
The best way to start a tour of the BirdPark is to board
the modern, air-conditioned Panorail system. Its route covers

various exhibits. A walking tour is also worthwhile as you
