Wildlife Reserves Singapore Group
Opened in 1971, millions of bird lovers from around the world have experienced our colourful avian world. Jurong Bird Park is Singapore’s first wildlife park and Asia’s largest bird park, offering a 20.2-hectare hillside haven for more than 5,000 birds across 400 species –– of which 15% are threatened.
The park’s goal is simple: we hope to enhance visitors’ understanding and appreciation of our feathered residents through naturalistic exhibits, interactive feeding sessions and world-class bird shows.
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, behind-the-scenes 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.
