Opened in 1971, Jurong Bird Park is Asia’s largest bird park, offering a 20.2-hectare hillside haven for close to 3,500 birds across 400 species, of which 20 per cent are threatened. The bird park is famed for its large and immersive walk-in aviaries such as Lory Loft, Jungle Jewels and the recently revamped Waterfall Aviary. Other unique exhibits include Penguin Coast and Pelican Cove. Jurong Bird Park sees approximately 850,000 visitors annually.
Committed towards conservation, the bird park is the first in the world to breed the Malayan black hornbill (1995) and the twelve-wired bird of paradise (2001) in captivity for which it received the Breeders’ Award from the American Pheasant and Waterfowl Society. Jurong Bird Park is part of Wildlife Reserves Singapore and is the only park in the Asia Pacific to have an Avian Hospital.
With a commitment towards conservation, we have successfully bred threatened species such as the Bali mynah, blue-throated macaw and other significant species such as the black palm cockatoo, hyacinth macaw, red-fronted macaw and the red-tailed black cockatoo.
In fact, Jurong Bird Park recorded the world’s first successful hatching of the black hornbill, great Indian hornbill and twelve-wired bird of paradise in captivity. For the latter, we were awarded the Breeders’ Award from the American Pheasant and Waterfowl Society in 2001.
The opening of our Bird Discovery Centre sets an immersive environment for guests to learn about the avian world, from the life stages of a bird to exploring how birds command mastery of the sky.
Aside from our facilities, the park also hosts a variety of educational programmes for students. These comprise day trips, overnight camps, guided tours, workshops and wildlife publications.
Jurong Bird Park is one of the most renowned bird sanctuaries around the globe.
Waterfall Aviary is the park’s largest walk-in aviary, housing over 600 free-flying birds from 50 species, including the endangered sun conures, common crowned pigeons and Von der Decken’s hornbills. Set against a 30-metre high waterfall, it’s also the world’s first and tallest man-made waterfall.
Another noteworthy exhibit is Lory Loft, a 3,000 square metre and nine-storey high flight aviary. Featuring nine colourful lory species, this exhibit is themed after the Australian outback and is a popular highlight among visitors who get to feed lories and lorikeets while walking across suspended bridges.
Our Breeding and Research Centre gives guests a rare, behind-the-scenes peek into the growth process of birds, from incubation to weaning. Visitors can walk in and view the work of avian keepers, giving them the chance to walk away with a deeper appreciation of avian wildlife and the park’s conservation efforts.
