Singapore Bird Sanctuary – A Must Visit Place

Singapore is One of the most exciting and interesting destinations of south East Asia. Right from offering a microcosmic view of entire Asia to offering an eclectic mix of modernization and ancient culture, Singapore offers it all.

The bird sanctuary is located in northwest region of Singapore and is a must visit place for all tourists.

The bird sanctuary got its official status in 1989 when the government here decided to turn it into a safe habitat for mangrove flora and fauna. The Sungei Buloh National Bird Park is spread over a vast area of 87 hectares. The reason for its success is the fact that this Singapore bird sanctuary falls directly along the East Asian Flyway, thus making it an unavoidable destination for migratory birds.

The Sungei Buloh National Bird Park has been available for public access ever since 6 December 1993.

Comparing to the 7000 stopovers in 1992, the number has increased considerably to 24,000 stopovers in 1995 which is a not-so-subtle hint at the growing popularity of the park, both among the tourists and the migratory birds.

Apart from birds, a variety of animals can also be located in Singapore bird sanctuary. The Sungei Buloh National Bird Park operates with the help of financial help from the Singapore government which funds it completely. Tourists visiting this park also have the option to go for Nature Education programs, volunteer guide programs among many others.
