Yesterday, Mom, Dad, and I went to the Jurong Bird Park. In the African Wetlands exhibit, we saw Mom's favorite type of bird: the black crowned crane (top left). We also saw my favorite bird, the shoebill stork (bottom left). There was a show called the Birds and Buddies show. It had several kinds of birds (flamingos, pelicans, toucans, a hornbill, a vulture, ...) that paraded on stage or flew among the audience or did other things. For example, a macaw and a cockatoo played basketball. The show also had people in bird costumes.
After the show, we went on a monorail that goes around the bird park. Then it was time for another show. This one was called Kings of the Skies. They had birds of prey that caught meat in the air. I think this show was better than the other one.
Then we started looking at birds. We first went to the Waterfall Aviary. It was a little disappointing; the only interesting bird there was a helmet crested guineafowl. Then we went to a place called the Lory Loft. It had TONS of lories. My favorite kind was called a rainbow lory. It is very colorful.
After that, mom went to see the South-East Asian birds and Dad and I went to the World of Darkness, which had some interesting owls like Great Greys and Snowies. I loved the Great Greys. I saw one of them fly. It had a huge wingspan!
