Thanks pacman for your comment, and yes it is good to see birds from overseas. I went to the Bird Park in Singapore and I must say I enjoyed Fort Canning Park a whole lot more, which was a stones throw away from our hotel. The bird park had so many birds but it is a shame to see so many in cages behind wire and out of their nature habitat. They had a waterfall avairy which was quite pleasant as the smaller birds did live and fly freely but i do say I would have been alot happier just to spend the day at the park finding the birds. I only got to spend two days in Singapore and one of them was a whole day at Universal Studios the other half day at the bird park. I will definatley have to go back just to venture the parks ...oh and I saw my first squirrel there in the park too.
