Jurong Bird Park (Permanently Closed)
The new wildlife park, set to open in the second quarter of 2023, is a captivating destination that spans across 17 hectares of land. It promises to transport visitors into a vibrant and colorful world of flight, showcasing a diverse range of avian species. With a population of 3,500 birds from over 400 different avian species, this wildlife park is designed to encourage discovery and provide an immersive experience for visitors.
One of the main attractions of the park is the walk-through aviaries. These eight large aviaries are carefully designed to reflect the unique features, vegetation, and bird species found in different biomes from around the world. Each aviary offers a different experience, allowing visitors to explore and learn about the various habitats that these birds call home.
One of the highlights of the walk-through aviaries is the Heart of Africa. This section of the park aims to recreate the forested valleys of continental Africa, providing visitors with an elevated canopy experience. As visitors walk through misty forests and meandering streams, they will have the opportunity to spot species such as the Great Blue Turaco and African Grey Parrot displaying their natural behaviors. The aviary also features a Bee-eater’s Cliff, where migratory birds can be seen diving and swooping for insects in mid-air. Additionally, there is a Congolese pavilion and a larger-than-life artificial Sycamore Fig tree, which serves as an excellent photo spot.
Another captivating aviary is the Crimson Wetlands. As the name suggests, this area showcases the color red, with Scarlet Ibises and Roseate Spoonbills gliding over marshy wetlands. Against the backdrop of a floating village in South America, visitors can observe colorful macaws feeding at a clay lick wall. A waterfall, paying tribute to the Waterfall Aviary of Jurong Bird Park, adds to the breathtaking views of the habitat. For a truly enriching dining experience, there is also an elevated restaurant with a menu curated by a local celebrity chef.
In addition to the walk-through aviaries, the new Bird Paradise offers up-close experiences that are both intimate and interactive. One of the most popular experiences is the feeding session at Lory Loft. Visitors can offer nectar cups to the gregarious lories, enticing them to come up close and even perch on their wrists and shoulders. This hands-on interaction allows visitors to connect with these beautiful creatures in a unique way.
For those interested in delving deeper into avian conservation, the new Bird Paradise offers a variety of behind-the-scenes tours. These tours provide a glimpse into the park’s fully equipped Avian Health and Research Centre, Avian Nutrition Centre, and Breeding and Research Centre. Visitors can learn about the different breeding programs and how they can contribute to the conservation efforts aimed at sustaining and protecting species in the wild.
Before leaving the park, visitors are encouraged to visit the retail stores and bring home a piece of paradise. Whether it’s a souvenir or a bird-themed memento, these stores offer a wide range of merchandise that allows visitors to cherish their experience at Bird Paradise.
In conclusion, the new wildlife park, Bird Paradise, is set to be a truly remarkable destination for bird enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. With its diverse range of avian species, immersive walk-through aviaries, and interactive experiences, this park promises to provide visitors with a unique and educational journey into the world of birds. Whether it’s marveling at the beauty of the Heart of Africa or getting up close and personal with the lories at Lory Loft, Bird Paradise offers an unforgettable experience that will leave visitors with a deeper appreciation for the avian world.
