Jurong Birdpark

In my attempt to try to induce labour by walking, Meg and I went to the birdpark with Chang and Rhian yesterday. We spent half the day there and the weather was perfect even though it threatened to rain in the morning. We started off the visit with a rather entertaining bird show at 10am and the highlight for me was watching the magnificent birds soar low, just over the heads of the audience, wings spread like they're about to devour their prey in a swift swoop. There were a few foolish and ignorant people who actually raised their hands to try to touch the birds as they flew above them. These are predator birds like vultures, eagles and hawks and unless these people want to lose part of their hands, they'd do well to keep their hands to themselves. On the whole it was a nice day, not too tiring and the two girls enjoyed themselves I think!
This is supposedly the largest man-made waterfall in the region at 30m.
Feeding the lories at the Lory Loft with a special nectar mixture at $3 a cup. It's quite a treat when a group of them flock to you at the same time, as it makes for a wonderful photo!
