Jurong Bird Park

The kids and I spent the day at the Jurong Bird Park.  The park is home to more than 8,000 birds and much like the zoo, the landscape is beautiful.  The park offers many bird shows and lots of hands-on experiences for the kids.

All three kids said that they preferred the bird park over the zoo because they enjoyed watching the shows and loved interacting with the birds.  We all got the chance to feed bananas to an ostrich, although I must admit that I was quite reluctant (they are VERY large birds) and the kids had to talk me into it!

Emma was a little nervous....but not like me!

Kate chose to feed the birds in the African Aviary live mealworms, right out of her hand!

Look at her face as one is landing on her hand.

They all loved feeding the lorikeets nectar and having the birds land on their arms.  Emma was a natural and even had one trying to eat a button off her shirt!
