Bird Paradise

Must Do Experiences

• Feed cockatoos and hornbills during interactive feeding sessions at the Caged Bird Show Zone

• Walk through the sprawling Cagayan Valley Aviary, home to the rare Philippine Eagle

• Catch the free-flight Bird Show featuring African grey parrots and macaws performing natural behaviours

• Explore the newly opened Penguin Cove and watch playful African penguins up close

Hidden Gems

• Visit the newly added Puffin Point — a hidden gem not yet widely known to tourists, housing adorable Horned Puffins in a simulated sub-Arctic environment

• Seek out the quiet reflection bench tucked inside the mangrove boardwalk section of the African Wetlands Aviary for a peaceful bird-watching moment

• Attend the keeper talk at the Songbird Aviary just before closing time for a quieter, more intimate experience

What Makes it Special

• It’s Asia’s largest bird park featuring six immersive walk-through aviaries replicating global ecosystems—from Asian rainforests to African savannahs

• The park prioritises conservation, with breeding programs for endangered species like the Malayan Whistling Thrush and the Palawan Hornbill

• Unlike traditional zoos, birds fly freely overhead and land beside you, creating authentic close-up encounters without barriers

Perfect Timing

When to visit for the best experience

The best time to visit is early morning (9–11 AM) or late afternoon (3–5 PM) when birds are most active and feedings occur; avoid weekends and public holidays for smaller crowds. The park is open year-round, but the dry months from February to April offer the most comfortable weather for outdoor exploration with minimal rain interruptions.

Photography Guide

Capture the perfect shots

• Visit the African Wetlands Aviary during golden hour (late afternoon) for soft natural lighting and vibrant bird colours

• Use a telephoto lens for bird close-ups, but remember no drones or tripods are allowed inside the park

• The new Penguin Cove offers stunning indoor lighting—try shooting from below for dramatic upward angles of playful swimmers

Cultural Etiquette

Respect local customs and traditions

Singaporeans value quiet respect for nature and wildlife—keep voices low near exhibits and avoid sudden movements that may startle birds Dress modestly for public spaces; while casual park attire is fine, avoid beachwear like swimsuits or flip-flops inside the dining area Tipping is not customary in Singapore, and staff at Bird Paradise will not expect or solicit tips

Special Events & Experiences

Enhanced experiences and seasonal highlights

• During school holidays (March April, June-July, October), the park hosts special keeper talks and interactive workshops for children

• Christmas and Chinese New Year feature themed enrichment for the birds and limited-edition photo ops at the park entrance

• Peak seasons include weekends and public holidays—arrive early to secure parking and shorter queues for popular zones

Important Guidelines & Safety

Essential safety information and guidelines

• Stay behind marked barriers and follow keeper instructions during feeding sessions to avoid startling birds or triggering defensive behaviour

• Watch your step on boardwalks and gravel paths—some sections are uneven or elevated, especially after light rain

• Keep personal belongings secured in bags, as curious birds like mynas and cockatoos may investigate unattended items
