* Enjoy in-park scooter rides and feed exotic bird species at close proximity
* Exclusive Breeding and Research Centre behind-the-scenes peek at how the avian team incubates eggs and cares for chicks
Jurong Bird Park launches Feeding Frenzy, an unforgettable tour which provides participants with an opportunity to get up close to selected species, including long-legged flamingo beauties, taller-than-life ostriches, three-toed cassowaries, colourful sun conures, white-tailed nicobars, lace-like crested crowned pigeons amongst others.
Besides the novelty of zooming around on in-park scooters during the entire duration of the tour, participants will be taken to places typically restricted to the public. In Asia, Jurong Bird Park is the only park in the Asia Pacific to have a Breeding and Research Centre (BRC), tasked to ensure the promulgation of birdlife. Visitors will be taken on a behind-the-scenes walkabout to witness and observe how the avian team incubates eggs and cares for young chicks.
“Conducted by guides who have a wealth of knowledge about birdlife, our tours are planned to provide novel comfort while providing an educational experience. Feeding Frenzy takes visitors beyond the confines of boundaries, providing an in-depth exploration at the wonders of birdlife,” said Ms Isabel Cheng, Director, Sales, Marketing and Communications, Wildlife Reserves Singapore.
“At the Bird Park, educating visitors about birds is integrated into a multi-faceted and creative manner. Feeding Frenzy is an excellent initiative for conservation awareness. After all, when we study about birds, we will ultimately learn to care for them and realise the importance of conservation,” added Ms Cheng.
