Jurong BirdPark

Today we went to the Jurong BirdPark. It was a lot of fun. The first thing we saw were the penguins. Elyse liked being able to walk right up to the glass in the exhibit. Penguins were swimming less than an inch from her face! As were wondered around we saw flamingos. At this point we let Elyse wander around the bridge that surrounded the flamingo lake. She really like watching these birds as well. She would walk to the side of the bridge and squat down to watch them. It was very cute.

We were there in time to see a bird show. It was on the birds of prey. Birds flew down from high towers to demonstrate there skills and entertain the crowd. I really think that Elyse was watching the show because when a girl moved in front of her, Elyse moved to try and look around her.

I think my favorite part was the Lory Loft where we were high in the trees and got to feed the birds. Elyse liked it when the birds came to feed. We had to watch that she didn't pull their tails

Some of the birds were in enclosures, but others were free to roam around. The interesting part was that they usually stayed where they were supposed to. There were swans in the Swan Lake, pelicans in the Pelican Cove, and storks in their little pond (although I did see a stork visit the birds of prey area).

Overall a great day. The only thing that went wrong was that our camera ran out of batteries which meant we had to resort to taking pictures with our phones. You can see the difference in the pictures we took. Oh well, at least we got some pictures.
