Singapore draws a large number of tourists for the various attractions it has in the main island, and in the island of Sentosa. Together, they boast of a number of world class tourist attractions such as the Universal Studios Park, many 4D rides, cable cars, river cruise and sea cruises, an incredible aquarium, zoos, night safari, river safari, and a Bird Park. The bird park is the Jurong Bird Park, covering an area of 49 acres on the slope of the Jurong Hill. It is supposed to be moved to a new location and renamed in 2020, but no more details are clear as of now. The Jurong Bird Park is one of the top tourist destinations in Singapore, drawing a very large number of tourists and with a wide collection of birds. Some of the birds are in closed off exhibits, others are behind fences but not caged, and yet others can be found wandering around people. Then there are shows where people can see some of the trained birds in operation.

Flamingos are great looking birds and with the pink tinge to their body, attract a large number of visitors. The flamingo exhibit in the Jurong Bird Park has a large number of flamingos, a seemingly very large number. They are in an open exhibit, beyond a fence and you can spend quite some time in the exhibit, watching the Flamingos do their stuff (however, most of the time you will see them just standing still). At some point, you will see flamingos standing in water, standing on one leg.

Colorful birds attract a large number of visitors. These are Macaw, made famous in children's movies, shaped like the normal green parrot, but much more colorful. This exhibit is very near the entrance, and you can see them from a pretty close distance (and for some money, you can get your photo taken with the Macaws, however, you are not allowed to touch them).
