By Michelle Lee SM -
If you have an animal, or more specifically, bird lover in the family, then you'll want to consider Jurong Bird Park's newest staycation — the park has launched a new Staycation with Flamingos experience that'll have you waking up to a sea of pink. That's not all. There'll be encounters with birds of prey, as well as feeding sessions. Here's what lies in store.
During your stay, you'll be getting up close with one of the formidable predatory birds of the Kings of the Skies animal presentation, from the Changeable Hawk Eagle to the Malayan Fish Owl. Hear it from their handlers on how they adapt to hunt and catch their prey.
Your first day of the programme ends with a hearty dinner, as well as a flamingo-themed activity before you retire for the night in a bell tent, right in front of the flamingo enclosure.
There's no need to worry about sleeping rough for the night, because the tents are located in an air-conditioned space. They're also outfitted with twin beds (for up to four guests), pillows, blankets, charging points, and a fan.
Feeding sessions at Flamingo Lake, Penguin Coast and the African Treetops
When you wake up, you'll get to feed the flamingos their first meal of the day, before you tuck into your own. And once your bellies are full, you'll head to Penguin Coast for a breakfast feeding of the park’s waddle of penguins.
There's another feeding session during your stay, which takes place amidst the rainforest atmosphere of the African Treetops, and where you can get acquainted with a variety of African bird species. The exhibit houses over 400 birds from 40 species including the starlings with their iridescent plumage as well as hornbills and turacos.
Set off on a private guided tour to the newly refreshed Waterfall Aviary and learn about its newest residents such as the Roseate Spoonbills and Straw Necked Ibises. Have your cameras at the ready for photo ops with the aviary’s crowning feature, a 30-metre-tall waterfall, the world’s tallest within an aviary.
Afterwards, sit in for the vibrant High Flyers animal presentation with reserved seating and hang back to meet and greet a mystery avian star.
