It was truly a worthwhile experience with the birds at Jurong Bird Park Singapore. I really had a great time. We started at the Penguin Expedition, since we arrived at around 10:30am. Luckily, we were able to witness the feeding of the penguins as soon as we got there. We walked a few minutes towards the Pools Amphitheatre for the Birds and Buddies Show at 11:00 am and saw along the way, the different kinds of talking birds, the flamingo pool and also the different owl species in the World of Darkness.
After our lunch at Bongo, we headed to African Wetlands to see the different African birds; however I wasn't able to see some in their exhibit as found in their website like the Shoebill and the African Crown Crane. Probably, they could be somewhere, freely frolicking at the open space.We then took the panorail ride at the main station and alighted at the Lory Station. Just across the Lory station is the Lory Loft where I had my first bird encounter. For 3S$, you get to have a cup of bird feed so you can stroll around the loft and have a lot of lorries fly and gather towards you and be able to feed them by hand. It was such an amazing experience when two Lorries flew towards my arm and another one on my cup of bird feed. We then went to see the feeding of the ostrich at 1:40, feeding of the pelicans at 2:00 and the bee-eaters and starlings at 2:30.
The second stop of the panorail is the African waterfall aviary, which is said to be the world's largest walk-in aviary. We arrived there by foot and have not used our panorail tickets already so we were able to get great pictures of the african inspired theme welcome sign with life sized african tribe. We then walked down to see the last show called Birds of Prey at 4:00 pm where hawks just freely and swiftly fly above your head.
All these for 18S$. The panorail ride is an additional 8S$ for one round covering the three stations; Lory Station, Waterfall Station and the Main Station. But for me strolling by foot is much enjoyable, so you will be able to see everything in the park including the hornbills and toucans, birds of paradise, crowned pigeons, the large exhibit of parrots and swans gliding at the lake as well as the landscaped gardens.
