The skies are so dark. Luckily the wind is blowing very strong. It managed to blow the dark clouds away swiftly, showcasing some rays of light. We are off to our planned itenary on a Sunday afternoon - the Jurong BirdPark !
Ha, don't think i want to bore you with pictures of the various birds i had taken .... However, there is one place within the park that i would like to share. This is one of my favourite place during the visit : Lory Loft.
Lory Loft is the world's largest (3000 sq.m & 9 storeys high) walk-in lory flight aviary, with over 1000 free-flying lories. The entire ambience adheres to a rainforest vale of tropical Northern Australia.
This is one of the colorful & vibrant lory residing in the aviary! I bought a special nectar mix at SGD2.00 and offer them to the lories perching on the rail. There's one who saw my offering and flew right onto my left shoulder, giving me a fright. (oops, i let out a scream and immediately i became the center of attention instead of the lories)
I call this the "Ah Beng" lory. Look at how it put one of its leg onto the container while it drinks the nectar from it! Ha
Well, i really had an enjoyable afternoon even though it's drizzling and we are even slightly drenched in the light showers later.

Nice bird. They are called lory? Not parrots? But beautiful. :D
Not parrots =)
They are colourful and much smaller then parrots.
Can they do voice imitation like parrots? I think I know which ones you mean. The smaller version ones. I've seen some folks keep these cuties. :)
not too sure. they sure didn't mimic us when we were there =P
probably they are too busy trying to eat the nectar mix we are holding to do any other thing else =P
