Pelicans at the Jurong Bird Park in Singapore

Singapore is a great place for visiting, although it can get hot for some people, because of its tropical climate. This heat can make walking around through the tourist attractions a bit unpleasant, but one can plan ahead for the weather, going when it is more convenient. On the flip side, Singapore is a great tourist destination, with a number of world class tourist attractions for people to visit, and an equally great tourist infrastructure in terms of transport, entry, offers, food, and so on. There are some attractions in Singapore that are meant for the nature lover, such as the Zoo, the Night Safari, the River Safari, and the Jurong Bird Park. The first three are located close to each other, although the Jurong Bird Park is located away from the other tourist destinations, and is a beautiful place to visit on its own.

The Jurong Bird Park is fairly old, having been setup in the year 1971. The park occupies an area of around 70 acres, and is located on the slope of Jurong hill. The park has a large number of birds inside it, with some of the birds in enclosures and fenced off exhibits, and in other parts of the park, you can find yourself walking among birds, with many of them of the type that you would not have seen before. The bird park also has a number of shows which are fun to watch. One of the large exhibits inside the park is that of pelicans, large birds that are fascinating with their large beaks. This is an image of a few of the birds in the Pelican exhibit.
