Finally, we went to the Singapore Jurong Bird park. It was drizzling when we reached there but that does not dampen our energy. This time round, we were making sure that we will be enjoying ourselves dispite the drizzling.

EMu - The Emu is Australia's tallest native bird, reaching 1.6-1.9m when standing erect. It weighs 30-45kg

Adult Emus are covered with shaggy grey-brown feathers except for the neck and head, which are largely naked and bluish-black. The wings are greatly reduced, but the legs are long and powerful. Each foot has three forward-facing toes and no hind toe.

The Cassowary has a whitish patch about its head, the color tapering off to blue and purple from the head down to the neck. Here there are red wattles in front and an orange patch at the back. The red color of the wattles changes from pale to medium to dark depending on the bird's mood. The rest of the body is covered with coarse black feathers. The upper legs, under the long black feathers, are blue, and are otherwise grey or greenish-grey.

Look at the head, it has a horn-like crests called casques on their heads

What a big egg!!! 1 ostrich egg yolk = 50 chicken egg yolk

Pelican - most complete collection of pelicans in the world at Pelican Cove, where all 7 species of pelicans can be found. But we can only find 5 species during the Pelican chit chat session.

Finally, we settled down in Bongo Burgers resturant for a bite before gonig home. We enjoyed the beef burger and the chicken wings while listening to the rain drop.
