So both of us meet at 9.30am early in the morning to get to Jurong Bird Park. It is really very easy to get there but very time consuming, you just need to take to Boo Lay MRT station and take one stop from bus 251 or 194 from Boo Lay Bus Interchange (to be more extract it is inside Jurong Point shopping mall) and you are there already! Easy isn't it?
We finally arrived at Jurong Bird Park after about 45min-1hour of travelling (Yesh, we know it is super long but it really depend on where you stay!) and we started our whole day trip there!
(Note: We are not going exactly going to state the whole places we went at the bird park because it's going to be a super long post about it and we do not want to sound long winded. And, not only people will get bored, we will get bored too! HAHAHA! >< )
First stop we went to the Penguin Coast. In the Penguin Coast there are four types of different species of penguin (The Humboldt, Rockhopper, Macaroni and King Penguin) that all are being put together in the same place but is clearing arrange in the different types of species they are from. Outside the enclosure, there is also another type of penguin called the African Penguins also known as the Jackass Penguin which are able to adapt to the hot weather. (Super COOL isn't it? we didn't even know there is penguin that can live under the hot weather in singapore!)
Next we went to watch the High Flyer Show which we are able to see super cool performance from different types of birds that is being highly trained by the keepers in the bird park and lets us tell you, this is a totally must go performance show when you visit here! During the show, Angelyn really wanted to participate in one of the tricks but due to us sitting in front she didn't get the chance so is quite disappointing~ (so let us give you a tip, if you really want to tried out the tricks, you better sit behind! because they usually call from the behind from what we observe. :D)
Moving on, we went to the Lory Loft where we can get to interact and get up close with the birds in there! We both fall in love with this place as we get to feed the bird. You just simply have to buy the food at $3 each cup. To us this is like the most experience place we went out of all the places in the bird park even though we are somehow scared of bird... :D
I was scared to death when the lorry jumped onto my hand man!! [Angelyn] |

Just nice it's 2pm and we went for the Pelican Chit Chat Session! (FYI even though it stated that it is the Pelican Chit Chat Session, the Pelican doesn't chit chat with you! Hahaha! XD) During this session the trainer in the bird park will tell us facts about the pelicans and give us question to win prizes!
Thanks to Angelyn who answered a question thats being asked, we get to feed the pelicans for free! (if you want to feed them you need buy the fish at $2 per pack!) This means that Angelyn have been listening to the trainer explanation *CLAPSS FOR HER PEOPLE HAHA* (*er hum* The Jurong Bird Park has 7 out of 8 species of pelicans in the world! Their beak can hold up to 13L of water and only the brown pelicans can dive etc.. HAHA That's all Angelyn can remembered)
We end off our trip with a late lunch at Bongo Burgers, one of the food restaurant in the bird park! We went there because we through this place is very detailed and super cool as there are animal style chairs that we are in love with!! (very childish I know but can't help >< if you visit this restaurant you may have the same reaction as us or maybe not? hahaha :D) but the price of the food is really not that pretty ~
