Bird Park

We went to Jurong Bird Park last month, only managed to upload now cos lazy hahaa... all photos have to be downsized for quicker uploading mah. Shall picked a few interesting to pics to talk about then. This is the artificial waterfall in the park, it seems to be beautiful and cooling place. Even wedding couples went there for photoshoot.

While walking around in the park, i saw this bird staring at me lo. So i looked right back at it and to see what would happen. It slowly...

slowly...

slowly turned away. Aiya what do you expect? Their time in there must be really boring. Let me summarize their activity in captivity.

Sleeping...

Taking turns to sleep...

Hanging around...

Digging...

Talking...

Standing with legs apart...

Standing on one leg while the other holding an insect to eat.

Or basically going around doing its own "business".

Of course there's some funny stuff that took place.

This bird was walking around in the pathway for the visitors, that's where I'm standing, till it saw us coming. Then it calmly walked back to its place of captivity through the fence to join the rest. I wondered what went through its mind.

Bird:"Finally can relax, let's go jia zhua!"
*We came in*
Bird:"#$%&@ Sianz... Need to get back to work."

We wanted to see the magnificent eagles, many were high up in the trees except for this taking a bath in the pond. Did the staff feed it too much or its life is too comfy here? This eagle looked like a chicken to me, don't you think so too?

I luv this one, so colourful and pretty with head turning to one side, appearing to be shy.

There are a few shows but we were only in time for one, The Birds of Prey show, featuring the eagles, vultures and owls.

This is a Secretary bird, it looked fierce but listened obediently to its trainer.

The host held the microphone to the owl to show how loud it could shriek.

The other ability it has was swallowing the long piece of meat whole... cool!
