  1. Jurong Bird Park (31) Royce Seow Yang Le 1E3

  2. Birds of prey • Hawks, eagles and vultures live side by side in towering enclosures on this magnificent street of kings – kings of the skies, that is. As you walk through this exhibit, look out for the sharp talons and hooked beaks and read up on the amazing stories behind each of these beautiful birds of prey. • At a glance, you'll get to see the differences between the types of raptors. Some with wingspan as small as 20 centimetres and others as massive as 3 metres or more. Raptors you can expect to meet include the American Bald Eagle, and Singapore's natives Brahminy Kite and White-bellied Sea Eagle, as well as a very special pair of vultures. • You'll also get to meet a pair of very special Himalayan Griffon Vulture. They look healthy and well-fed up on their high perch, so it is hard to believe that in 2005, they were ravished by hunger and lost in the shopping district of Orchard Road! • Exhausted and on their last leg, the vultures believed to have been migrating from the Europe winter, were rescued and brought to the Park which is now their permanent home. • Witness the birds of prey in action at our Kings of the Skies show. 

  3. Waterfall Aviary • The Waterfall Aviary adventure is an immersive 13 stories high and 2 hectares wide experience right from the start , home to an enigmatic realm of over 600 free-flying birds.

  4. Dinosaur Descendants • Go back in time to the age of the dinosaurs into the prehistoric land of Gondwanaland, when all the land on Earth was one large continent. Be intrigued by the similar traits that these Ratites or Flightless Birds share with what is said to be ancestors of the great Dinosaur. • Meet the unique, blue-headed Double-Wattled Cassowary with a soft and spongy casque that they use as a tool to forage for food, and as a weapon against rivals. It is also believed that the casque may be useful for them to receive sounds or to communicate. Its neighbour, the Ostrich, is the world's largest, heaviest and fastest-running bird with the biggest eyeballs. It also wins, wings down, with the largest eggs in the world. Over here, you'll also see the Rhea and the Emu.

  5. Windows on Paradise(Birds of paradise) • Look through the "window" into the wonderful world of the exotic Birds of Paradise from a 40-metre long tree-top level walkway. This 2-level exhibit offers an unobstructed view into the lives of these sensitive birds, which can be found hiding in the tree tops or skulking in the undergrowth.

  6. World of darkness • Enter the darkness of night, in broad daylight at the World of Darkness, Asia's first nocturnal house. Walk through the star-lit jungle and meet our elusive friends, the owl as they go about their normal behaviours under the moonlit 'night'.
