The Singapore Bird Park or better known as the Jurong Bird Park

is at the west side of Singapore Island and Changi Airport where you arrive on your Singapore trip is at the east side. In between is a very interesting island republic full of exotic people, food, entertainment, shopping at Orchard Road, lots of money to be made, good nightlife, nice living, Singapore girls and so on, but its expensive in relation to the countries around and they don't like chewing gum, yes you heard right chewing gum is banned.

But anyway the birds are not interested in chewing gum anyway, at the bird park in Singapore there are parrots, macaws, cockatoos, flamingos, storks, hornbills, shoebills, cranes, eagles, vultures, exotic crown pigeons and plenty of other bird species and you can be sure about 80% of this beautiful and exotic birds you haven't seen and probably even heard about, the positive is, among others, at the bird park in Singapore you can see them just in front of you in a natural, little modified environ. They even have several bird shows during the day, where the parrots count to ten in English, Chinese and Tamil and they really do, no tricks and cheats.

Have you seen the tiger jumping through the hoop ? well at the Bird Park in Singapore its not the tiger, its the red blue parrot which flies through the hoop, not only through one but through 4 in a row, its really amazing what this little birds can do.

At the Bird Park all this two leg creatures ( no, the birds !) can be seen in their somehow natural environment, there is even a tree house environ you can walk through over a suspension bridge and give some food to the parrots, they are very uncomplicated birds, you give them food, they eat it, that's it. The positive you have out of this is great  colors , some crrrrr creeee and a happy bird plus a happy tourist, so what ? Actually the tourists will be even more happy when they visit the

Marina Sands casino and win some money, Marina Bay Singapore is really worth a visit.

There are rare and not so rare beautiful varieties of exotic birds. The Jurong Bird Park is not so well known since a lot of people go bird watching but be honest, its always difficult to spot all the is small colorful beauties, so the people are not really after it, but at the bird park in Singapore you can really see the birds just a few meters away in their semi natural environ. Ok, I don't know what the birds are thinking about but since many of this exotic birds are there and not flying away even when they have the possibility to do so it cant be so negative for the birds. The people who want to save the world, the animals and other creatures should go and try to save the rats, but this is also not so good since we get the plague and other diseases back. 

The Bird Park is for sure not only a vacation excitement, its also quite educational and a great place for the kids too, all birds have their data sheets placed nearby so you always know who look at you.

There is a pelican cove, a flamingo site with a splendid waterfall, countless parrots, cranes, ducks you can watch from below the water surface and if you like buy some food and feed the parrots, a theme shop give you an excuse to spend some money.

What I didn't like at all is, they give a special low entrance price for senior citizen but only if you are a Singaporean, this is for sure a discrimination, since they come to Europe or US the just pay the same as the locals. Actually this is something the Singaporeans have in common with the Myanmar and Thais, there also the foreigners pay two or three times the entrance fee at national parks, Zoo's etc.

You can watch birds for hours and you have a good   chance that they wont fly away and let you standing in

the dust or rather in the tropical heat, Singapore is a very hot and wet place close to the equator and you gona feel this very quick and there is no chance to jump into the flamingo cove or under the

waterfall.

Since there is some walk to do to explore the bird park unless you are handicapped or lazy, use good shoes, better leave the slippers at the hotel. Since there are about 8000 birds of about 600 different species to watch some walking or rather hiking is essential, actually

parrots are plenty. In any case if you don't like to walk around there is a elevated monorail following the circuit and quite a lot is visible from this little train.

The park spans over around 20 hectares means go man go. If you have a look for the daily show and a close look at the other places you can watch the birds flying and see the immense wing span, the vultures participating in the bird show have around 2 meter wing span, this is incredible.

A visit to the Singapore Bird Park

should be part of every, it is a great experience to watch hundreds of birds at one location easily walking from colorful exotic bird to the next. The walk through the park is in an easy way, places to rest are under the tropical jungle trees and every

rest place has a machine to get some drinks, its not very cheap at 3 S$ for a small bottle of coke from the vending machine but when the sweat is running and the next bird, maybe a parrot is calling, what can you do.

Passing the wetlands and some patches of mangroves you can sometimes even encounter birds which have escaped even the books. It's a ideal place for bird watcher and birding. Experiencing a great wildlife under control and take a close but limited look into Asia's flora and fauna. Jurong Bird Park at Singapore is a great place to see all this beautiful 2 leg feathery creatures, actually about 8000 birds of around 600 species makes it the largest gathering of birds worldwide. Their natural habitat is  implemented quite well to let them fly, swim and walk around and enjoy themselves in some huge aviaries.

This Singapore wildlife reserve is the closest possible environ to the normal natural habitat of the bird. At this south east Asian bird park, parrots, cockatoos, macaws,

If you have other interests aside of birding, such as tropical flowers you might spend a day at the Singapore orchid garden, one of the best worldwide with hundreds of different orchids flowers of different species and hybrids.

At the Jurong Bird Park there is one circular birding trail with some alleys branching off, you can see the Jurong Bird Park Map for more actually real bird watching attraction are almost every twenty meters on average. Aside from the parrots also hawks, falcons, different wading birds, crane birds and some rather simple birds such as ducks are around at the park plus egrets, owls, warblers, wrens and swallows to mention only a few, the majority are parrots of various kinds and they are real beauties with incredible colors. Watching the cranes is always a question coming up, how do this birds keep the balance when center of gravity is at such a high point, even with large feets is not a easy task.

- There is a 9 storey high aviary,

actually there are several aviary,  with lush greenery and panorama view. The idea is feed the parrots, they really come and eat what you offer. Most of the birds shouldn't be fed by the people but the parrots are a exception if you just fed the stuff bought at the counter which is advisable since you don't know anyway what a parrot wants to eat, don't you ?

You can walk the aviary over the suspension bridge  at about 12 meters height and get a feeling what a group of German scientists did in the Amazon rain forest when they installed a 60 meter crane in the jungle to watch the jungle life from above, this are real incredible view not easy to implement, it needs quite some money to do this.

- The Singapore or Jurong Bird Park

is one of the major tourist attractions in the City-State.

Aviary

Nestled in a small patch of jungle forest it offers a great opportunity to explore the local fauna and flora.

Over time Jurong Bird Park has grown into a global attraction and this is no exaggeration. Since Singapore is located in the tropics just at the southern top of the Malay Peninsular it's a perfect place to watch tropical birds in their natural or rather semi-natural environ. Jurong Bird Park is also promoting wildlife conservation and quite high entrance fees a quite some cash raising within the park, the place had blossomed. Somehow similar as like the Singapore Orchid Garden which is almost at downtown.

The building were the bird park reception is has a good souvenir shop all around the birds. When you entrance a quick photo session is probably the first thing you will do at enter since at the entrance are already several multicolored and very pretty parrots hanging around, they welcome you with creee, cree and craa craa, you know what it means ?

Since there is lush greenery there are also some mosquitoes around, that's the nature, use a repellant before you visit the park.

The Jurong Bird Park is open every day but certain parts close early and are open only from time to time why? Since the entrance prices are quite high and the visitor pays 100% means also the program and visibility should be 100%, he we are not in Thailand where they sleep most of the time. This tropical bird park and the aviary is located in a patch of real old jungle and offers spectacular views.

Walking the most scenic route could be substituted by a ride in the monorail which follow the paved road but the real thing is naturally via a walk which offers some stunning views of the island. There are gardens, waterfalls and lakes, many species of birds including flamingos, cranes, hornbills, toucans, cockatoos, macaws, pheasants, ibis, ducks, pigeons, doves and hundreds variants of them. There are also many smaller birds like finches, cardinals, and love birds and so on.

The large walk-through aviary, with other species of birds is quite a fascinating experience.
There are plenty of parrots and many other small birds that fly free in a this almost natural habitat. Close to the aviary are some small lakes with flamingos and pelicans plus some romantic waterfalls.

water level. The Jurong Bird Park is a fascinating park which must not be missed on any Singapore trip and bird shows are offered every day.

There is a well stocked bird theme shop in the park, many items of which are exclusive to the Park and will not be found

in any other shop in Singapore. There are ramps for wheelchairs and into the theatre where the daily bird shows are performed. Most people enjoy to see birds, flamingos,  in particular birdwatchers but in general it is always difficult to really see the birds, at the Bird Park you can see all this beauties in a natural environment. One of the reason why birds are interesting for us is, they can fly, while

we remain on mother earth. Most of us had a dream somewhere in past of flying up there or fix some wings and fly away. Birds are somehow symbols of freedom. The best expression of pure freedom is the ability to fly. Actually one person has done this until now, fixings wings with four small jet engines (as they are used with model airplanes) on the body and got from France to England. There are also other attributes fixed to birds, we know the noble eagle, squabbling crows, proud peacock and Donald Duck, gliding swans show grace and elegance, the hawk means war, the dove means peace and the parrots stand for incredible colors etc. what do they and plenty of other have in common? they can be watched at the bird park in Singapore. See all the different colors of bird feathers from simple earth tones of sparrows to the great colors of  flamingos, parrots, peacocks, macaws, cockatoos, storks, hornbills, cranes, eagles, vultures and more.

others its simply beautiful nature, at the bird park pink flamingos and other waders plus tropical parrots show stunning tropical colors. There are very small birds such as a finch and all the way up to the huge vulture of the Andes and elsewhere.

The bird park in Singapore is like a tropical garden with flying colors, aside of shear pleasure to look at the colors they serve some biological parameter of evolution. Listen to a free bird concert and enjoy the bird show which is performed every afternoon. Birds are probably the best symbols of a untamed nature even surviving the continuous problems they are are facing in their habitats from the guys who cut down everything for quick profit.
