Breakfast at Jurong Bird Park

Mama had always wanted a breakfast with the birds. We failed to do so umpteen times simply because we failed to wake up early enough and thus missed the bird show timing.

Finally after the Nth attempt, we made it (albeit slightly late)! The show had already started and I quickly carried Cayden-boy to grab a "first row seat" even though that meant blocking some of the early birds (pun not intended!).
The emcee for the show hinted to me that the show was only intended for "patrons only". Well, I simply ignored those words and continued enjoying the show because mama had already gone to buy their very expensive breakfast for all of us.

Any literate with good eye sight would have caught these words... wouldn't they?

After the show had ended, I rushed forward and was the first to grab a shot with the parrot!

Cayden-boy folded his arms and kept an arm's length away from the parrot.

I volunteered to feed the mallards.
The keeper stuffed the feeds in my hands while Cayden-boy looked on in amusement when the mallards pecked my hands for food. Only upon closer inspections did I realize...

Worms were part of the mallard's diet
The big black swan only swam towards the keeper
After getting the valuable shots with the stars of the show, it was finally breakfast time!
We strolled around the bird park after the breakfast. It had been more than 10 years since I last visited the Bird Park. It had changed so much that nothing in my memory matched what I saw..

Cayden-boy recognized and said "ba....nana"!
Cayden-boy, the elite bird keeper!
Relating "flamingo" from books to life-sized statue
I asked, "Moo...... says the.. ?" and Cayden-boy replied, "Coou!"
After playing tourists, we took a rest at the restaurant. Mama answered some calls and so did Cayden-boy... with the table number! What an imagination the lil one had!

"Halo..  halo... "
Cayden-boy loved hitting the drum
Cayden-boy looked out of the restaurant and I seized the opportunity to grab myself a new wallpaper
We only lingered around the entrance of the Bird Park and it was already a very fulfilling morning for us! It was much more enjoyable than what I had imagined prior to the trip. Costly breakfast aside which were better meant for tourists, the breakfast show was educational and interesting for both adults and kids!
