Waterfall Aviary

This two-hectare Waterfall Aviary remains as the world’s largest walk-in aviary with the highest man-made waterfall standing at over 30 metres. It is home for some 1,500 free-flying birds from Africa and South America, and provides visitors with a unique opportunity to watch them roost, bathe, feed and even raise their young in their nests. Set in a valley, the Aviary is landscaped with 10,000 exotic plants comprising 125 species of trees, bamboo, palms and ground-cover vegetation to simulate a tropical rain forest. In addition, an artificial 8-m tall tree moulded from an actual 100-year-old Barking Deer’s Mango tree has also been planted to enhance the rainforest landscape.

Red-crested Turaco Red-throated Bee-eater

Visitors can stroll along shaded walkways and enjoy the rainforest experience, which comes complete with mysterious bird calls, a rambling waterfall, and mist profusing along gorges. A rustic suspension bridge offers a breath-taking view of the waterfall while two observation posts at the top offer grand views of the Aviary.

A thrilling encounter is the feeding of the bee-eaters and starlings in all shades of blue as they hunt after their food – grasshoppers, crickets, worms and other insects – which are released during feeding times. You can get to feed the birds too!

The Aviary is accessible both by foot and the Park’s air-conditioned Panorail train. The latter is, however, a more dramatic way of arriving at the Aviary. In fact, the Park scored a first in the world when it incorporated a Panorail Station inside a walk-in aviary.
