It was definitely an eye-opening and exciting experience for all of us.
We were geared up early morning to be Ornithologists for the day. Despite the gloomy dark skies in the morning, we were optimistic that the birds will be there to greet us.
Miss Raudha has showed us the Jurong Bird Park map online, days before, but today, we get to use the park maps to navigate around.
We discovered that our friends Reese and Yue Yang were good map-readers; and Ashley, having been to JBP recently, gave us "anticipative" insights on what's coming up. As for the rest of us, we were on the look out for the birds that we have been learning about, for the past few weeks.
Our first stop: The Talking Birds attraction. There were Mynahs and Cuckatoos. Each of them has a name, and the signs explained that some of them can say simple words like "hello" and "bye-bye".
Miss Raudha gave us copies of park maps. We were at the Royal Ramble when we spotted the Crown-Headed Pigeon. Referring back to the map, we knew then, where we were and how to go to our next destination- The Pools Amphiteatre for the Birds 'N' Buddies show.
We were seated right at the top, getting the bird-eye view of the show. Nothing should be missed!
In the tram ride from the Waterfall Station to the Main Station. We saw lots of Water Birds or also known as Wading Birds.
While at the Dino-Birds/ Flightless Birds attractions, we saw this. We used brushes to carefully brush away sand to discover dino-fossils. Interesting! We learned that scientists who study about dinosaurs are called Palaentologists.
Ostriches and eggs! The one in front is the mummy ostrich who were sitting on the eggs to incubate them. The one with the thicker feathers is the father ostrich.
Very tired. We shall talk about it more next week.... *zzzzzz*
