SINGAPORE – Bird Paradise in Mandai Wildlife Reserve will welcome its first guests on May 8 and visitors will be able to get discounted tickets until May 26.

Admission will cost $38 for an adult and $23 for a child aged three to 12, while seniors 60 years old and above will pay $20, Mandai Wildlife Group said on Thursday.

Visitors will pay the full price of $48 for an adult and $33 for a child from May 27. The ticket price for seniors will remain at $20.

 

Bird Paradise will have eight walk-through aviaries and feature two new bird programmes – Predators On Wings and Wings Of The World – which will be presented at the park’s Sky Amphitheatre.

Mandai Wildlife Group said that visitors can see the world’s largest population of hornbills under human care, with many of them flying free in the walk-through aviaries, which have been designed to mimic habitats from around the globe.

There will also be opportunities for guests to go behind the scenes with keeper-led programmes. These include exclusive access to the park’s Avian Healthcare and Research Centre, where visitors can watch veterinarians in action.

At the Avian Breeding and Research Centre, visitors can learn more about conservation breeding programmes, including those for Asian songbirds and threatened parrot species.

 

The opening of the 17ha new park follows the closure of Jurong Bird Park on Jan 3.

Feeding sessions – a highlight at Jurong Bird Park – will also feature at Bird Paradise at $8 per session, with new varieties of birds, said Mandai Wildlife Group.

These include feeding sessions with the starlings, African hornbills and barbets at the Heart of Africa section, pelicans at Kuok Group Wings of Asia, and lories at Lory Loft.

Proceeds from these sessions will go towards the Mandai Wildlife Group’s conservation efforts.

Meanwhile, the group said that a free-to-visit guest area comprising children’s play areas and dining options, called Mandai Wildlife West, will also open from May. The new public node will serve as the arrival area for Bird Paradise and the upcoming Rainforest Wild park.

Mandai Wildlife Group chief executive Mike Barclay said: “Our animal care team and veterinarians have been carrying out the mammoth task of moving more than 3,000 birds from Jurong to the Mandai Wildlife Reserve.

“This ‘great migration’ was a first-time experience for both our birds and employees, and I am glad to share that they are all settling in well in their new home.”

Members of the public can pre-book their admission tickets and any add-on programmes from April 24 at www.mandai.com
