Trip to Jurong BirdPark

Got conned by STB to visit Jurong Birdpark...suppose to have free tix, but when we arrive, all free tix were already given out and its only 10+ in the morning. Anyway, we spent $42 to get 2 adult tickets.

It has been ages since I visited the birdpark..since Primary School i think. So was quite excited to recall how it looks like.

Entered this enclosure where birds are allowed to roam freely. These are lovebirds and we can buy some sort of oatmeal to feed them. Its really sweet cos I wanted to stroke one of them...and that bird moved away..its partner, seeing her move away, moved over as well to be close to her...hehe..reminds me of dear and me...dear will always come over to whichever room I am at when he discover I am missing from his sight. Unfortunately before we could venture further, it started to rain. Hope I can come back to this sanctuary again.

Managed to take this pic of an owl in the owl enclosure..its not easy as the enclosure is super dark and no flash is allowed. We were suppose to keep very quiet and not to use flash since owls are super sensitive to light and sound. However, some idiotic kids were talking at their loudest voice and some similar idiotic adults (probably parents of these idiotic kids) were using flash on their cameras like nobody's business. I showed my displeasure in front of one such adult as the numerous flash from his camera phone was obviously causing discomfort to one poor owl. I hate such people who don't spare a thought for animals..they already lose their freedom in order to be "viewed" by stupid humans, and we have to add on to their misery.

A unwelcome guest at the roof of this sanctuary. Guess its too afraid to move anywhere or its probably enjoying the suntan.
