Jurong Bird Park Part 1

I wished I was a bird. Haven't you dreamt of flying before? Wouldn't it be great to have the wind blowing past your face and travel to the highs and lows of the earth? Helicopters are too noisy in my opinion :P

I had to split the post into 2 parts simply because I have too many pictures to show you! Birds are really interesting creatures, they are smart and their behaviours are adorable! Thanks cousin for bringing me along!!

The Blue Macaws. These 2  were squakwing away, having a bit of an argument.

Penguins! The park's aquariums are massive! They have a lot of room to move and swim for us to see :)

Something not to be missed is the Bird show. It is solid gold. And if you're enthusiastic enough, they need a lot of participants :)

For example, Mr and Mrs Wong, the Toucans were sent to an audience member's arms. Pretty rewarding experience.

A flock of flamingos!!! They are hilarious! There's one showing off by flauting its feathers and circling the table a few more times than others just to get more attention.

What about a friendly competition between 2 birds? The bird handlers had one side of the audience cheering for one Macaw, and same on the other. Click the photo to enlarge and see what these macaws are going head to head with! Notice the bright yellow feathers of the male macaw? Its a beauty.

Ok no, this is not a bird but I wanted to show that I was wearing a mosquito patch :P And its Doraemon! My favourite (asian) cartoon character. This patch lets off quite a pleasant citrus scent to ward off mosquitos. I needed one patch for each limb. Yet!! These little buggers were smart enough to bit round my ankles! Apparently I taste very sweet. Also, I bought a pair of ladybug slippers at the Birdpark store because the "leather" shoes that my Aunt lent me literally crumbled as I arrived at the entrance. Fashion Tip: I'd just learnt that if you do not wear your leather shoes frequently, it will disintegrate!

Alright, moving along now.

Lovebirds! Aren't they adorable? Beak to beak is cute haha. They couldn't get enough of each other, which made me think of my boyfriend. Yea I was missing him terribly back then.

These are amazing colours. Deep crimson red! I'd wish my clothing were just as loud haha But I don't really have the confidence to wear something like that.

We headed up to the Lorry Loft where there is a large open space for Lorikeets to roam about. We can feed them too!! One decided to sit on my head and I tried not to move. I looked awkward haha.


You know....birds have feelings too. And we have pictures to prove it :P

Once upon a time, I was feeding these gorgeous birds.

When all of a sudden, they started arguing! The green one stood tall and looked like it wanted to give red a bashing.

Another mate of the green's appeared and just started eating from my cup, shoving the other one aside. The red one with his head low, slowly left the scene by crawling up my arm.

For a long time, he stood by my shoulder and complained to me beside my ear. Gosh you're loud little one :P My face says it all haha.

Open enclosures sure are awesome! Look at how close this person is to the duck! The duck doesn't care and waddles across the footpath.

 I'll end the first part with this photo - OMGoodness that's a hugeeee lizard!! Expect more birds to come soon :)
