Jurong Bird Park Trip

Due to COVID-19, I am currently faced with an unique issue of needing to clear half of my annual leaves by March 2021 or risk forfeiting them. Usually, I will be the one having a headache of how to save my leave, but not this year due to majority of the time working from home. Taking the opportunity of massively discounted Jurong Bird park ticket running at $2.50 due to their 50th anniversary, we decided to clear 1 day to bring *OEE* out to be a tourist in Singapore and see some colorful birds!

Well, since it is heavily discounted, there are some venues and shows that you will need to pay additional entry price of $2.50 to see/visit. Well, not that it matters as the majority of the park are still free to roam with the entrance ticket. To start off, we are off to see the High Flyer Show.

It is a joy to see so many birds appearing on stage and performing acts, and teaching the audience good environmental habits at the same time. Well, it is also at this show that we realized *OEE* is not interested in birds... 😅. He will look at the floor, look left, look right, but not at the birds... haha, perhaps he is just too young currently to focus at something far away. 

Next stop is the penguin room, where *OEE* went 😪 as it was his napping time. We spend quite a while inside the air-con room to escape the heat and rain until *OEE* wakes up. With that, it will be 1 hour till the park closes, we spent the rest of the time touring around the small park and took some nice photos.

Due to COVID-19, Jurong Bird Park was originally planned to close down in 2020 and shift to Mandai area together with Singapore Zoo, River Safari and Night Safari. For now, this plan has been delayed to 2022. Why not make use of the current promotion and give this attraction a visit before it is gone? $2.50 is only available to Singaporean until 31 Jan 2021.
