Singapore – Jurong Bird Park

Went to the bird park today and saw lots and lots of exotic birds. We were really impressed by how big the macaws were, how red the scarlet ibises were, and how ridiculous the toucans and pelicans looked. Basically, they all looked more or less like they do in pictures, which always comes as a bit of a surprise for things that look this strange.
