Since last night, I've decided that from now on, I would be going to the zoo once a week. I started since today, the first zoo that I wanted to go was Jurong Bird Park.
I took the MRT and went so far that if I would lost my wallet again, I won't be able to walk back home at all. I came out from Boon Lay MRT which interchanged with the bus station. It was a large station where several bus lines stopped here, I took bus number 249 which only around 10 minutes I then arrived at my destination.
The Jurong Bird Park is a landscaped park which is one of the most popular tourist attraction, and there were $30 Admission fee. The first birds I met were Penguins! I met them swiming in the pond. I was confused because I had thought that they should be only in the snow. I just realised today that there were many types of penguins.
The next birds which was next to the entrance were colourful Macaws and Flamingos which were arranged to welcome the tourists. I thought they can be found in every zoo. So, there were nothing interesting. Hahaha, I'm sorry birds.
There were many attractions alongside the walkway. My first stop was the Riverine which offered a "cross-section" view of a river with the unique scene of ducks, geese, swans even turtles without having to dive into the water.
After the Riverine, I walked along the boardwalk that passed through the Flamingo Lake, Pelican Cove and Swan Lake. The only thing that crossed my mind was such a hot weather! I couldn't focus on the living things in the pond much cause I was walking hurriedly.
At the end of the boardwalk stood a Waterfall Aviary which was another interesting attractions. The tourists could walk in a huge aviary until they found the high waterfall at terminal, I felt like I was a Tarzan that could be friends with the birds in this aviary. I could touch every single birds while I was strolling along.
After the Waterfall Aviary, I walked to the exit. On the way, I found the Birdz of Play which was a water playground in bird themes. There were many adorable families here. I guessed if I was younger than this, I would definitely play.
Next to the water playground was the Hawk Walk and there was a show in another 15 minutes. And I noticed Breeding & Research Centre next to the Hawk Walk which was like a museum of eggs and the nursery of little birds. So, I decided to stroll there and wait for the time.
After 15 minutes, it was a show time! The show displayed the king of the skies such as hawks, vultures, falcons, eagles and owls which came from around the world. This show was around 30 minutes long and had no fees, It was merged with the entry ticket fee.
After the show, I decided to take a zoo's bus tram before going back home. It allowed the tourists to explore the zoo with comfortable and convenience. I was surprised that there were many attractions in the zoo which I missed.
So, after I came out from the bus tram, I determined to stay here for a while. The last stop which I visited was the World of Darkness. I felt like I walked in the ghost house which was cold and silent. Of course, there were many types of owls here. Anyways, they won't get out from the dark much.
