We have been eagerly awaiting the new Bird Paradise.
We were huge fans of the Bird Park over in Jurong, with Jonty having gone as a kid and then taking our kids over the years. So we were very excited and maybe a little apprehensive as to what to new park would be like.
We spent all day at the Bird Paradise meandering through the huge aviaries that now home the birds in a variety of incredibly themed areas. We stayed until after the park closed determined to see all we could.
With new play areas, water play and an enormous amphitheatre for presentations there is so much to see and do.
Come and explore with us!
**EDIT PLEASE NOTE - the shuttle bus is from Khatib MRT not Kranji**

Not only has the old park’s characteristics of man-made waterfalls been retained, but also Bigger and more spectacular! Plus all the birds are able to fly freely under the huge canopy, I am very much looking forward to visiting the new bird park!

8:50 Yes, if you see bird watchers, just politely ask what did they spot, I'm sure they will be happy to share with you what they see through their cameras. That's how we know there is this very cute owl couple that resides in Bukit Timah Nature Reserve on this particular tree. So nowadays whenever we go Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, we will go check out that area and find this owl couple looking down at us from the tree.

Lovely video! - thanks. We visited Jurong Bird Parkwhen we were in Singapore last October, and we enjoyed a lot of that, especially the free-fly enclosures. But we could also see that it was old and in some respects was a reflection of how things were done many years ago (cages, etc). I've been watching the development of the new park for years, it seems - I think it was delayed by Covid, of course. But this was a great taster for us; and yes, just a taster as we will be returning to Singapore in March next year! Bird Paradise is right at the top of our list of places to visit.

You did not mention about the static electricity. That yellow bird is called Taveta Weaver (Ploceus castaneiceps), also known as the Taveta Golden Weaver. The Taveta Golden Weaver is a bright yellow weaver with a very restricted range in southern Kenya and northern Tanzania. The male is golden yellow, with chestnut crown ending in sharply defined crescent on nape, and chestnut band on breast. The female is yellow without orange and has a heavily streaked back and 2-tone bill (dark above, yellowish below). The juvenile is browner above and buffy below. Looks similar to Eastern Golden Weaver (Ploceus subaureus)

The water dispenser is outside every toilet point. There is static electricity when opening doors. Total of 8 aviary. The car park is powered by solar energy panels. I miss the owls at Jurong bird park.

We found one by the amphitheater but there didn’t seem to be one near the cafe’s..we even asked a staff member and he didn’t seem to know! But now we know where one is so that’s good. We can have more of a look next time incase we missed it. We experienced the static shocks a few times much to the amusement of our kids when I got “zapped”

I think this toucan has come from Jurong, rather than from the zoo - my guess is that the zoo still has!

@WONDERLUSTworld 11 ай бұрын
Hello, we got there at 11am and didn’t leave until after the park closed!! 10-12 is hot, but if you check the video they have these cooling off rooms in between each section. There are also a couple of food places and cafe you could cool down too. Are you visiting Singapore for a holiday? If I’m being honest it’s always hot here. In Europe the sun is hottest around midday but you do feel it all the time here. Drink plenty and use the shaded areas for a break from it. Aspen and I have a mini fan and it’s actually really helpful!

At a event, I have the chance to know someone who is working in the bird park. And guess what? She invited me to help out in shifting the bird park. But due to my schedule, I missed the opportunity. Hope I have another chance in the shifting if they decide to shift the zoo to somewhere else.

Being soft-opening, it is possible not all the birds have been introduced to the environment. Perhaps you can come back after the official opening, not to mentioned that by that time there may be lees people roaming around. Definitely by that time all the species are in their respective aviary. 😁
