Jurong Bird Park etc

We visited Jurong Bird park yesterday. It is a huge park with thousands of beautiful birds. We all loved looking at all the varieties and colours. We watched two shows while we were there and Hailey and Ben really enjoyed seeing the huge birds swoop over our heads.

At the birds of prey show, they asked for a volunteer, so I put up my hand and they chose me! I got taken out the back, gloved up, then got to hold a Eagle Owl named Rocky. I had to then come out and introduce him to the audience. It was fantastic being so close to such beautiful birds. Great experience! At another show, there was a stage full of Pink Flamingo's.

Two Macaw's playing basketball.

The view out one side of our hotel window. Typical of an afternoon, it is about to storm. There are several shopping centres around us and there are housing units in the distance.

I managed to find a dog show that was on while we were here. It was on the opposite side of the island to where we were and it was a very small show but it was great to see how they do dogs in Singapore. Hailey was very keen to pat a dog so we found a beautiful young German Shepherd that enjoyed having the attention of the kids. A common view in singapore. It seems that the majority of the population live in these unit complexes. They are everywhere.


This photo shows how Ben doesnt quite fit into his cot. When he lays straight, his little feet hang out the end but he doesnt mind.
