Jurong Bird Park 2019

Jurong Bird Park has been a favorite for me for many years, It has not changed much due to the size of the park. I recall there used to have a monorail in the twenith century which is now been removed probably due to the high costs maintenance and low visitor volumes.

The park shall be relocated in the near future to Mandai where the zoos are situated.

Since, there is a free entry to the Park, I decided to make a trip in the late afternoon.

It is interesting to note that there is a promotion for annual membership to the park for a price of a 1 day of ticket.

 I walk into the park.  The entrance has a lush greenry.

 In any parks, there is a pond at the entrance.

Ticketing entrance is quite empty at the end of the day, Most people are inside the park already.

The counters are empty now. I am given an entry ticket outside the counter for my free entry.

There is a sign that says that local residents enter for free by producing the identify card.

The chart shows the free access areas in the park. It is good idea to pay for the premium attractions.

The park has a series of parrots and macaws were one can take picture with. Popular with families and tourists.

 this is the tram waiting area, one can choose to go clock wise or anti clock wise in the park. the park is straightforward to navigate.

You can take the tram that brings you round the park.

Penguins in the topics. It must be warm for these flightless birds.

these penguins appears to be waiting for something to happen.

Ah... they are waiting for the bird keeper to bring dinner...

Before dinner is served, the bird keeper marshal these birds to the rest area

It is nice to see how these birds walk. it is like the blind leading the blind.

Map of the bird park. You can walk around the park under an hour. It is quite small.

Here is the feeding time.

The bird keeper throws the fishes into the water. Some of the penguins want to be hand feed.

This is the parrot station where you can take pictures with them. Parrots can perch on your shoulders. The bird keeper is able to facilitate it. There are professional photographers that help you.

The birds are in the cages. Personally, it looks steely.

You can observe a series of cages to separate various species of birds.

There are signs that shows what type of birds are on display. You need to try to find these birds. Some of them are sleeping, some of them are quite lively in the cage.

Picture of Emu.

Finally, we reached the cranes and pelicans. I was surprised by the numbers.

there are plenty of cranes and pelicans. A pavement lined up along the lake for visitors to have a a closer look at these birds.

Around the lake, there are nice plants and gardens.

There is a pair black and white swan. It looks quite miserable on the number of swans in the park.

This is the tram station 4. It is the last station from the first. The tram runs from a anti-clock wise direction in the park.

These are lesser flamingos. The pink is dull.

I notice that the america flamingos are picture worthy.

These flamingos have a brighter shade of pink.
