Close-up of birds at the Jurong Bird Park

feeding the birds
说时迟那时快,喂食时间一到,鸟儿们突然好像战斗机那样从树上飞奔下来,一口叼到虫子后又立刻飞走!

yellow bird looking down
“哇~ 是人在喂虫咧!可是... 我应该下去吃吗?妈妈说不可以乱吃陌生人的东西咧...”

ostrich with big round eyes
鸵鸟的头这么小,还要让出位子给这么大的眼睛和更加大的嘴巴,剩下来装脑袋的位子不就所剩无多了吗?

parrot looking back
它的回眸一笑电到你了没有?

ducks at the pond
十里平湖霜满天,寸寸青丝愁华年。对月形单望相护,只羡鸳鸯不羡仙。

vulture spreading out its wing
秃鹰好可怜哦,明明身上有这么多羽毛,偏偏头上却空空如也!

vulture feeding
经过另一笼的秃鹰时,它们正在用餐。虽然不知道那是什么肉扒,但红红血血的还蛮恶心的!

eagle in cage
Jurong Bird Park里的老鹰种类还蛮多的,而且只只生猛,只是看它们的眼睛就知道就算它们是笼中鸟却一点也不温驯!

penguins just staring into nothing
这只企鹅的毛羽好怪,从胸口那边好像生了很多厚厚的毛出来那样。这是它们的冬装吗?

Ai yo~ so many birds to feed at Jurong Bird Park

In Singapore, everything that you buy, the more you buy, the more worth it. That's why we've got buy this got that crap-gift free, buy $50 got $0.50 off, buy 2 big ones get 1 small one free etc. Similarly, it makes more sense to get the Park Hopper 3-in-1, so that's how we ended up at Jurong Bird Park.



My Japanese friend said our bird park very open very good. We let our birds fly here fly there in the aviaries instead of locking them up in cages. Actually a bit like Singaporeans lah, we are also given freedom to express ourselves mah, just that there is this big net on top to make sure we don't really fly out of the aviary lor!

It is fun to walk about in the aviaries when birds just fly across on the top of your head and trying to spot these birds among the trees is challenging too. At the end of the day, sure got sore neck one! But besides the birds high up on the trees, there are also different species of ducks in the pond down below. And some of these ducks can actually swim damn fast man!



Of all the birds in the bird park, I think those lories at the Lory Loft must be the happiest. There is an endless stream of visitors to pay a few dollars for a little cup of liquid food to feed them so they can have breakfast, tea-break, lunch and dinner anytime of the day! I would have thought that eating the same thing every meal a bit sianz (translation: bored) right? But those bird brains like eat until very happy like that leh! Some of those kan cheong spider (translation: nervous) lories even station themselves at the Food Purchase counter and just eat off the cup right after the visitor has paid for it, didn't even wait for the visitor to walk out into the aviary!

Besides the lories, we also went to watch ostriches feeding and African birds feeding at the African Waterfall Aviary. Do you know that ostriches actually eat bananas? With the skins some more! At the African Waterfall Aviary, lagi (translation: even more) more fun, because visitors are given little cups of live worms to feed the birds! And those birds just fly all over our heads at full speed and suddenly just dash onto the cups! Machiam (translation: like) Japanese kamikaze pilots attacking Pearl Harbour like that!

Up close and personal with all kinds of birds at Jurong Bird Park

在踏进Jurong Bird Park前,觉得很纳闷,为什么入门票要$18这样贵?鸟的饲料有这样贵吗?朋友更纳闷的问,笼子里的鸟有什么好看的?但游了一个下午的Bird Park后,我们都要收回那时讲的话!

其实飞禽公园的入门票真的很合理。第一,那里的鸟类是多到一天也看不完的!我们已经很后悔说不应该午餐后才去了!反正那里的停车费是$2 per entry的,所以我建议打包好午餐和足够的水(因为那边的食物和水是tourist price),然后从早上他们开门的时候就立刻冲进去!第二,企鹅和猫头鹰们需要吹24小时的冷气,电费水费应该很恐怖,我们就帮补一下吧!

由于小气的我们没买$5的panorail票,到了五点钟的时候我们已经走到累到不行,路途后面的那些鸟如Hornbills,Scarlet,Ibises,Spoonbills和Kingfishers,我们都是很敷衍的走过当作看过!真对不起它们!不过也还好我们没买panorail的票,因为那个panorail只有三个距离超远的站,中间的那些景点还是得走过去看啊!只坐车不走的话就只可以看到penguin和flamingo(第一个站),African Waterfall Aviary里的小鸟和人造瀑布(第二个站),跟Lory Loft里的鹦鹉(第三个站)!这样子逛Bird Park,两个钟头就敷衍完了吧?
