Samu’t Saring Ceylon

Since we enjoy birdwatching a lot, we didn’t skip Jurong Bird Park this time. Loaded with bags and a not so light stroller, a baby in my arms and 2 older kids in tow, we boarded a taxi and off we went to this very lovely park. It has been our plan ever since we started transiting through Singapore to visit this park and see all the various kinds of birds.
Here are some of the pictures we have taken and the bests on our list:

1] For the children, the most interesting birds were in the cold area - where the penguins are. We spent a long time inside the penguin house. We enjoyed watching them taking turns dipping in a wide pool of water and the glass window also gives as a glimpse of what takes underwater. The cold temperature also gave us some rest from the warm and humid air outside.

The amazing thing was while we were watching these flightless birds, one took a dive and just went near us as if tapping the window glass and saying hello. We were thrilled!! Here is a picture of this guy (oops not sure thought of its real gender) - that we would like to know how to tell. Anyway, so here is the cute fellow =) The photo isn’t that nice because the place was a bit dark.

2] The macaws - so colorful and pretty noisy screechers! But the kids love the ones in the cages because they can talk! These ones perched on branches are really very beautiful, for us at least. Stephie didn’t think so… zzzzzzz!

Won’t skip the chance of taking a photo near them…

3] The lories are just adorable. There is nothing like inviting them for lunch and they are such willing guests. But watch out for those strong sharp beaks. They hurt when they peck you for not sharing the whole lot!

And here is Zeph with more lories…

So these are our top three on the list of bests… on the next blog, the 4th and so on..
