Pelican CovePelican Cove
Measuring 2,500 square meters, Pelican Cove will house the most comprehensive collection of pelicans in the world, with over 40 birds and all seven species of the pelican family. The Cove also boasts of the world’s only underwater viewing of pelican feeding, allowing visitors to observe the birds’ feeding behavior underwater. See the pelicans up close and visit the underwater viewing gallery as the pelicans dive for their food during feeding time.

Lory Loft
The world’s largest Lory flight aviary, the 3,000 square meters Lory Loft offers visitors a simulation of the vast Australian “outback” landscape complete with a windmill and bushmen’s hut. The highlight species of Lory Loft is the Rainbow Lory, a beautiful and colorful parrot. Lory Loft is also home to nine other species of Lories like the Black-capped Lory and Dusky Lory as well as others. Lory Loft provides visitors with a 360 degrees elevated view of the surroundings. With the elevated boardwalk and swinging suspension bridges, visitors are ‘lifted’ 12 meters off ground level, for a heightened experience of the tranquil ambience. At the two-tiered central feeding tower, visitors will have the opportunity to feed the birds by hand with nectar. Be enamored by the breathtaking view and the wondrous spectacle of the 1,000 lories feeding whilst enjoying a cuppa Australian Coffee at the Lory Loft.

Penguin ParadePenguin Parade
Occupying an area of 1630 sq meters, the Penguin Parade is the home to the more than 200 penguins from 5 different species of Humboldt, the Rockhopper, the Macaroni, the Fairy and the majestic King Penguin. With a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, the Penguin Parade has a large pool set against a landscape of rocks, cliffs, nesting alcoves and burrows to simulate the penguins’ natural habitat in the Antarctic. A special lighting system recreates the four seasons of the year effect to enable them to maintain their bio-rhythm. Visitors at the exhibit will be treated to a vast panoramic view of these fascinating penguins as they ‘fly’ underwater through a specially constructed viewing gallery. Catch the penguins at their feeding time at 10:30am and 3:30pm.

World of Darkness
Asia’s first nocturnal bird house, the World of Darkness is exhibits nocturnal birds through a system of reversed lighting, enabling day to be converted into night and vice-versa so that the visitor can get a glimpse into the life of the 60 nocturnal birds from 17 different species such as the Snowy Owl. Visitors will have the impression that they are walking along a quiet star-lit jungle path at night, watching the birds in their natural habitats as their haunting calls beckon. The Night Herons and Fish Owls in their mangrove swamps, Snowy Owls on ice-capped mountains, and many other nocturnal birds provide a veritable feast for the eyes in the quiet stillness of the ‘night’.

Blue-winged PittaSoutheast Asian Birds Aviary
With a collection of about 260 Southeast Asian species, this is one of the world’s largest collections of some of the most exotic birds and endangered species. The exhibit concentrates some 100 species of birds in a group of aviaries with a large walk-in aviary in the centre where birds fly freely. Visitors will be able to admire the birds’ rarely seen beauty, listen to their beautiful songs and watch them as they would live in the wild. While the aviary has been landscaped to provide a simulated secondary rain forest environment for the birds to live in, it also gives many vantage points from which visitors can observe the birds up close. As part of the rain forest experience, there is a tropical thunderstorm that comes on at 12pm daily. The rain falls in the centre of the aviary away from the visitors’ walkway.

Hornbills and Toucans Exhibit
Playful South American toucans tossing fruits into the air; exotic hornbills displaying their magnificent bills and casques in flight; the female hornbill sealing herself in a tree hole for nesting – these amazing and rare sights of nature are happening right here at the Hornbills and Toucans Exhibit. Covering an area of 2000 sq meters, the exhibit houses the world’s largest collection of Southeast Asian hornbills and a wide variety of South American toucans. The 25 large aviaries measuring some 10m in height are landscaped to simulate the birds’ natural habitat. These spacious aviaries provide a conducive environment for them to display their natural behavior and also breed in captivity. Check out the Hornbills and Toucans show at 11:45am.

Victoria Crowned PigeonsRoyal Ramble
With a 40m long walkway that takes you right through the enclosure, the Royal Ramble features the Crowned Pigeons, the largest pigeons in the world. There will be railings to lean on and benches to sit on, for a leisurely encounter with these birds who are often mistaken for miniature peafowls. Named for the Crowned Pigeons' noble looks and regal walk, Royal Ramble offers an unobtrusive view of the largest pigeons in the world. Whether the birds are rambling on the ground, or roosting in the treetops, you'll be privy to their lacy crowns and elaborate plumage, funny sunbathing poses and intricate courtship behavior of bows and deep vocalization. Who knows, if you are lucky, you might have one of Nature's royalty perched on the railings peering at you with its startlingly red eyes. If you are luckier, one might just decide to display its courtship ceremony to you!

Window on Paradise
Offering a lovely ringside view of the Bird of Paradise, Window on Paradise includes a 40m long tree-top level walkway which offers a completely unobtrusive view of the birds. Now would be the best time to observe these birds as they enter the mating season with fabulously-colored plumage and intricate courtship behavior. View also the 12-Wired Birds of Paradise (so named due to the 12 wired projections protruding from its tail) bred for the first time in the world by the Park.

Waterfall Aviary
WaterfallThis 2 hectare Waterfall Aviary remains as the world’s largest walk-in aviary with the highest man-made waterfall standing at over 30m. It is home for some 1500 free-flying birds from 80 African states and provides visitors with a unique opportunity to watch them roost, bathe, feed and even raise their young in their nests. Set in a valley, the Aviary is landscaped with 10000 exotic plants comprising 125 species of trees, bamboo, palms and ground-cover vegetation to simulate a tropical rain forest. In addition, an artificial 8m tall tree molded from an actual 100-year-old Barking Deer’s Mango tree has also been planted to enhance the rainforest landscape. Visitors can stroll along shaded walkways and enjoy the rainforest experience, which comes complete with mysterious bird calls, a rambling waterfall, and mist professing along gorges. A rustic suspension bridge offers a breath-taking view of the waterfall while two observation posts at the top offer grand views of the Aviary. A special highlight in the Aviary is the feeding programme. Every day, colorful flocks of Australasian parrots known as lories dramatically descend at the feeding platform for their food. Their visual colors and sounds are spectacular treats for visitors. Another thrilling encounter is the feeding of the bee-eaters of Africa and starlings in all shades of blue as they hunt after their food – grasshoppers, crickets, worms and other insects – which are released during feeding times. The insect chase is simply captivating. The feeding times for Lories are at 11:30am and 3:30pm, and the Starling and Bee-eater feeding times are at 10:30am, 11:30am and 4pm.

Swan Lake
Located next to the Pelican Cove, a variety of swan species like the Black-necked Swan and the Mute Swan make their home here. At the lake, these water birds can be observed roosting, fishing and bathing at close quarters. It is truly a refreshing experience to watch them swimming amidst the tranquil ambience. Visitors can enjoy a grand view of the lake from the Observation Deck which will allow them to get close to the water edge and observe these graceful birds.

Parrot Paradise
Blue & Yellow MacawA 1 hectare exhibit showcasing more than 500 parrots from 110 species, Parrot Paradise is designed to simulate as closely as possible the parrots’ natural habitats with the help of beautiful hand-painted murals, as well as the natural vegetation. These habitats include tropical rainforest, grasslands, semi-desserts, riverbanks, or rocky cliffs. Although parrots are typically long-lived and can live up to 50 years in captivity, many species have become extinct or are in danger of doing so. This is the reason why special provisions have been made to encourage the breeding of parrots in captivity at the Parrot Paradise. So far, the Park has successfully bred 50 different species of the parrots in its collection. The exhibit also has an interpretative pavilion, which provides interesting information on the display panels. It houses a large, hollow, man-made tree where children can play in and learn for themselves how the parrots view the rest of the world from their nests in the hollows of tree trunks.

Jungle Jewels
The design of Jungle Jewels walk-in aviary creates an environment where visitors can observe at close proximity a fraction of the amazing diversity and complexity of the South American rainforest. High in the treetops live fruit-eating birds like the tanagers and cotingas. In the lower levels, honeycreepers and finches are more common. On the forest floor and streams live the waterbirds like teals and pintails. However, the Hummingbirds, arguably the colorful bird in the world with their boundless energy and vibrant, iridescent plumage, are the main highlight of Jungle Jewels. Beside the walk-in aviary is an air-conditioned area displaying hummingbirds in individual aviaries. Male and female hummingbirds are housed in specially designed breeding enclosures which allows the female access to the male while still ensuring privacy to raise her family.

The Riverine
A simulated natural freshwater river habitat featuring various species of waterfowl, fishes and turtles, the Riverine is designed to give visitors an intimate underwater view of more than 20 duck species, through an 11m wide glass-viewing gallery. Filled with clear recycled water, the Riverine gives the illusion of a fast-flowing and cascading river where visitors have the unique opportunity to see these waterfowl swimming and diving. The feeding sessions and touch pool will also provide wonderful viewing and learning opportunities for visitors. Feeding time is at 11:30am and 3:30pm.
