Chapter 269: Jurong Bird Park
Xiao Zhao took Zhou Sen to Jurong Bird Park, and he introduced Zhou Sen: "Jurong Bird Park is located on Jurong Hill in Singapore, which is also very famous, many tourists come to visit, and it is known as the most spectacular 'bird paradise' in Southeast Asia, and it is also one of the few largest bird parks in the world. ”
Zhou Sen nodded, "When I was in China, I heard about this bird park, and I really want to visit it, the birds here are also very precious and worth seeing." ”
Xiao Zhao nodded, "Yes, human beings should live in harmony with the natural environment, protect natural resources, protect precious birds, so that they can have a home to breed and survive here, Singapore also attaches great importance to the protection of natural resources, and also calls on everyone to protect these birds." ”
The park's main attractions include the Bird Knowledge Centre, the Waterfall Aviary, the Parrot Valley, the Southeast Asian Aviary and the Penguin Coast. ”
"Jurong Bird Park has received many accolades, and it is a matter of pride that Jurong Bird Park has become the first bird park in the world to successfully breed a 12-line bird of paradise in order to protect its natural resources, and it is proud that Jurong Bird Park is the only park in Asia Pacific to have a bird hospital. ”
Zhou Sen nodded, "Well, I've also heard that this park has made a lot of contributions, and I heard that it is also very professional in bird rescue?"
Xiao Zhao nodded, "Yes, there is a Bird Breeding and Research Center in the park, which is responsible for ensuring the health and reproduction of birds, and it is also an officially authorized and certified Bird Rescue Center. ”
Xiao Zhao said: "This park is still very good, every day there will be a flying bird show with wings high, colorful parrots can talk, birds that can count, birds that know money, bird trainers train them all with unique skills." ”
Xiao Zhao took Zhou Sen to watch, sitting in the theater, there were many tourists who came to play, the wonderful bird performance won the applause of the audience, people were excited to see such a good performance, I didn't expect the birds to understand the instructions of the bird trainer, very well-behaved and cute, after the performance, the audience came to the front desk to take photos with various rare birds.
With more than 10,000 different species of birds from all over the world, it can be called the "Kingdom of Birds", and the park has a variety of greenery, common trees in Southeast Asian countries, especially the "national tree" of Singapore, the rain tree.
According to Xiao Zhao, this tree is native to tropical America.
Zhou Sen was very curious, "Why is it called a rain tree?"
Xiao Zhao said: "The magic thing about it is that when it rains, all the leaves of his tree will close, like a shy grass, and when the sky clears and the sun comes out, the closed leaves begin to open, and the rain wrapped in the leaves falls one after another, like another rain." ”
"This kind of tree is suitable for growing in tropical rainforests, where the weather is relatively hot and the soil is relatively moist, and in cold places in the north, it is not easy to grow and not easy to survive. ”
"The reason why it is a rain tree is in line with its characteristics, this kind of tree is magically that in addition to its leaves closing when it rains, it will also close all the leaves again every day at about five o'clock in the afternoon, when the evening is about to come. ”
"Every morning, when the leaves open in the morning light and the dew falls from the leaves, you can feel a tree rain when you stand under the tree. ”
Zhou Sen looked at it, lush and lush, the rain tree is very vigorous, vibrant, and strives to grow up, so that people can also feel the vitality it yearns for when they see it, and they are greatly infected.
The boulevards on both sides of the park are planted with this kind of rain tree, like a person holding a huge canopy, growing vigorously upward, lush and lush, very good-looking, it is a beautiful landscape, blocking some sunlight for visitors, the trunk is very thick, the shape looks very artistic, the shape is different, some are like a person holding a tray, some are like a beautiful woman with a bent waist, graceful and graceful.
Zhou Sen sighed, "It can be called Singapore's 'national tree', it does have its unique charm, this kind of tree, I have only seen it in Singapore, and the national trees of Thailand and Cambodia are different!"
Xiao Zhao nodded, "Yes, although Southeast Asian countries are close, they have their own characteristics, and Singapore still has a lot of attractions worth seeing, let's go ahead!"
"Good!"
Walking further, among the flowers, I saw parrots of different varieties, with bright colors, sometimes motionless, and when Zhou Sen walked in, there was a vigilant naughty jump away.
"Wow, this little guy is quite cute, can you take a picture?"
Xiao Zhao smiled, "Yes, there are often tourists here, parrots are not afraid of people, you can take pictures, find an angle, I'll help you take pictures!"
Zhou Sen handed Xiao Zhao's mobile phone, Xiao Zhao took it, and sure enough, as Xiao Zhao said, the parrot still gave Zhou Sen face, and took a photo with Zhou Sen very cooperatively, his eyes were round, looking at the camera, very cute, Zhou Sen was very satisfied with the photo.
The Penguin Palace is in the most prominent position and can be seen as soon as you enter the park, and the clumsy and cute penguins swimming and eating in the water attract a large number of visitors.
Zhou Sen smiled, "I originally thought that I could only see penguins in Antarctica, but I didn't expect to see penguins here!"
Xiao Zhao said: "The penguin palace is well built and the temperature is controlled, so the penguins can play happily here, and tourists can watch it up close!"
After watching the Penguin Palace, Xiao Zhao took Zhou Sen to see the flamingos again, before the head of Xia and Qu Lihua had seen the flamingos, they sent Zhou Sen to watch the filmed program, Zhou Sen was very impressed, a piece of flamingos, gathered together, very good-looking.
Flamingos often swim in the shallow waters of the lake, strolling along the shore, playing with their necks crossed, and on a whim, fluttering their wings and shaking their long necks violently, forming a strict phalanx and dancing.
It looks like a swan and a crane, with long legs, a curved neck, and a red body, which looks like a piece of fire, hence the name.
Further on, Zhou Sen saw that there is also a museum of bird knowledge, which is an open museum that uses window displays in detail, vividly and delicately the evolution of various parts of birds.
Zhou Sen still admires the meticulousness of Singaporeans, they pay attention to details, carefully arrange the windows, place the relevant information and introduction, from the eggs, nests, feathers, beaks, human birds' nests used to raise birds, etc.
After asking a few questions, Zhou Sen also understood some knowledge about birds and felt that he had gained something.
