Traveling To Singapore, Enjoy Artificial Forest

May 4, 2009

jbp Singapore is developed country in southeast Asia. Many high building are there. Singapore’s government spends millions of dollars funds to process waste, build parks, clean rivers and the sea, and pollution level. In fact, the government of Singapore to create some community facilities where Singapore can forget the moment of the buildings, and enjoy the beauty of tropical forests and many animals that live in it. Overall, of course, hand-made creation.
One of the facilities that imitation is natural Jurong Bird Park. Garden birds of 20 hectares located in the middle of Jurong industrial area. It can be successful of nature imitation. Many kinds of plan and tree are growing and lush. While the small birds who intentionally released to fly freely between them. Some look really awkward imitation. For example an imitation trees made of huge concrete. Seems to want to imitate the trees, as usual we met in Kalimantan forest, Indonesia.

However, some artificiality, like waterfall, the truly look like the original nature creations. A natural ambience of calm around the waterfall is strengthened with the appearance of the fog and foliage along the river made. As though we are in the middle of the mountains. Do not be surprised, fog was also made, which is blown from the blower is some hidden among the plants.

Although all of imitation, can not be denied that a natural ambience in the garden birds are exquisite. One of the causes, the concept of enclosure is open, which is used for several types of birds. Some birds such as parrot, cockatoo, pigeon and flamingo, are placed in the cage open. Really not separate from the outdoors. Can be said, the birds was not terkandang, and they can only fly to leave the garden if they want it. There is no physical barrier to the free nature of entrance also bring wild birds.

In the pond for the flamingo, for example, in the afternoon often seen variety of other birds, which descend down to rest on the edge of water coming down the night. The presence of different types of birds that would cause an impression as if the flamingo pond really a source of water in the outdoors, where many kinds of animals rest at night. Birds of prey such as eagle or rare, Cenderawasih, and indeed rangkong placed in the enclosure wall wire. Same as we find in most of the Zoo.

Indeed, the birds that fly in the Jurong Bird Park is very visible to the human presence. In the garden, there is an officer who sells cup of worm for bird food. If you put a worm in your hand, not long after a tiny bird will perch in your hand, and eat worm. This Garden become best choice, if you want to find outdoors atmosphere, plus the opportunity to observe various kinds of birds.

If you want to enjoy more open atmosphere of nature while observing the wild animals roam at night, Singapore provides other imitation of nature facility, the Night Safari. Some 72 percent of the 120 types of animals that are collected by zoo are wild. In Singapore Night Safari, we may even corral enclosure animals that prey on foot.

If lucky, you can be spotted approaching the tiger who only hang around in the middle distance of several meters. Area was also deliberately foresrt back, and after many years, now the situation is not much different from the original tropical forest.
