By Laura Chew 

Singaore - Got an inquisitive child who just can’t stop asking questions about the birds, the bees and their eggs? Sign up for the Bird Quest Camp and let the experts at Jurong Bird Park answers all their questions! This two-day expedition camp will give them a chance to come up-close with feathered friends and visit the park’s limited access compounds like the Avian Hospital, where sick birdies are nursed back to health!

Not just an ordinary walk in the park, Bird Quest Camp will take children behind the scene for a hands-on bird-keeping experience like preparing food for the birds to learning about incubation of eggs at the Eggs & Chicks Behind the Scenes Tour to feeding over 1,000 free-flying lories at the Lory Loft.

There will also be guided tours at the park’s internationally acclaimed exhibits like the World of Darkness owl exhibit as well as the newly opened Bird Discovery Centre Guided Tour, where children will get to hold the world’s largest egg and unearth the secrets of nest making.

Be prepared to delve into colourful world of our feathery friends! Book your place soon as only a maximum of 40 participants are allowed.
