The Jurong Bird Park is all about birds, large birds, small birds, colorful birds, rare birds, and so on. There are many exhibits, including a superb exhibit that houses a large number of Pelicans; but the star of the Bird Park is the various shows. One of the interesting shows is the Birds of Prey show, which showcases the large predator birds such as hawks, eagles and also birds such as the vulture. These birds are huge, with the show using well trained members who showcase these large birds on their hands (sure seems like a lot of fun, although their sharp talons can be dangerous for the untrained). This is an exhibit from the show, which shows a staff member showing off the hunting abilities of a falcon.
