JURONG BIRD PARK

In 1971, at a cost of $3.5M, Singapore opened the JURONG BIRD PARK to the masses! The Jurong Bird Park is now a world-famous bird zoo wherein there are specimens of magnificent bird life from around the world, including a flock of one thousand and one flamingos. It is currently the world's largest bird park in terms of number of birds and second largest in terms of land area after Germany's Vogelpark Walsrode. There are over 8,000 birds of 600 species in the Jurong Bird Park. Of those, 29 are of endangered species. In 2006, the Jurong Bird Park completed its S$10-million makeover. With the upgrading, the park now boasts a new entrance plaza, an African wetlands exhibit, a park-owned and managed Bongo Burgers restaurant, a Ben & Jerry's ice cream parlour, a gift shop and a bird hospital.

This place is amazing, we walked around for hours with cameras at the ready just to soak in all the cool birds that are there. Like the Singapore Zoo, the Bird Park has an open and lush layout, many of the birds are free to fly while others are in large enclosures. It will definitely be on our "one to revisit" list but you can see all our snaps from the day HERE!!!
