Jurong Bird Park shuts after 52 years, some 2,600 people show up for final visit before its move
SINGAPORE — When the gates to the Jurong Bird Park opened for the last time on Tuesday , Miss Koh Jing Ting and Miss Shweta Amba Alagan found themselves among a crowd of eager visitors making their final trip to the half-a-century-old wildlife park beforeEven though the two 19-year-old students were at the park just last week, they stayed until it closed, joining the crowds who were whipping out their phones and cameras to capture the automated shutters rolling down.
Her friend, Miss Shweta, chimed in about how seeing the different birds at the park helped her overcome her fear of flying animals. The 3,500 birds it houses will continue to be cared for as it prepares to move to a new, slightly smaller bird park called Bird Paradise, set to open in the second quarter of this year at the Mandai Wildlife Reserve.
A bout of heavy rain in the late afternoon did little to dampen spirits during the final showing of the Kings of the Skies presentation that featured the Bald Eagle, Brahminy Kites and Himalayan Griffon Vulture. "The show was a very special memory for us," the administrative executive said."It was very touching when they said goodbye to us. I felt like crying."
