Jurong Bird Park

Like a typical kiasu Singaporean, I jumped at the chance of visiting the Jurong Bird Park for free during the September holidays. Hats off to the staff who maintained order well despite the huge crowd. Once I got in, the human traffic was lighter than expected and I enjoyed my time at the attraction.

Given my love of bird photography, Jurong Bird Park was akin to heaven on Earth. I was particularly impressed by the enormous enclosures providing ample space for birds to fly. On my next visit to Jurong Bird Park, I think it will be fun to try spotting all of the birds highlighted on their list of species.
