Birds! It wasn't really as scary as the movie. Ok, it wasn't really scary at all. Our location: Jurong BirdPark, way out in western Singapore.
The whole thing is a big zoo for birds. It being in the tropics, the number of species and the coloration on display was fairly astounding.
There were parrots...
...toucans...
...lories...
...the tropical ostrich, otherwise known as the cassowary...
...and even a black swan. Fortunately, no once-in-a-lifetime events befell us this fine day.
Accompanying our fine feathered friends was a better-than-average live show called Birds 'n' Buddies. The birds on display were pretty fantastical, or performing fantastical acts. For example, there was this bird, who looked like he had a yellow laser attached to his head.
And also these two small parrots racing to play basketball.
The animals were extraordinarily well trained. The main trick was letting them fly over the seated heads of all of us in the crowd, which they did again and again to ohs and ahs. Sahana sat there, mouthed gaped, in amazement. Her mother and her uncle weren't too different.
