Jurong Bird Park, Singapore.

My posts usually feature Australian wildlife but recently i went on a trip over seas and visited the Jurong Bird Park in Singapore so I thought i would share the images here. Although some of the birds in the park are Asian, many of them are native to Africa and the Americas. They have a number of species of flamingos, storks and cranes, birds of prey,  as well as quite a few large parrots. If you would like to see my other blog which is my trave photos to this part of the world, including,Thailand Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines.
