Bring the family along and be utterly enchanted by the large flock of Caribbean Pink Flamingos cavorting in the pond.
Walk though the world’s largest walk-in aviary and be enchanted by the golden-breasted starling, turacos, hoopoe, and more, and marvel at the tallest artificial waterfall in the world. Witness flightless birds at the Dinosaur Descendents section and be amused at the antics of the ostriches, rheas, cassowaries, and rheas hopping around the premises. The Jurong Bird Park also features shows such as the “King of the Skies Show”, where visitors can witness majestic birds of prey soar above the tree tops in aerial loops and witness falconry in action. Other shows include “Lunch with the Parrots” and the “High Fliers Show”, which features the world’s largest performance of birds in a single act.
