Nyungwe Forest Heart Of Africa is the largest of the eight aviaries in Bird Paradise. It is also the most forested, thanks to concerted efforts to preserve over 150 mature trees which were on the site before the construction.
Look out for the biggest tree—a weeping fig—in Mandai Wildlife West, and the critically endangered tree Marsh Ubah which is known to exist only in the forested areas of Mandai and Yio Chu Kang.
This shy bird not easily observed among the forest foliage except when small groups gather and call in chorus, sometimes for several minutes. The chorus begins with plaintive cries followed by a series of short kok-kok notes and dies down with deeper vibrating calls.
The only family of birds that is entirely endemic to sub-Saharan Africa, the turacos are known for their punk ‘hairdos’. The feathers around their head do not have barbules, which gives a glossy appearance to their raised crest.
The superb starling (Lamprotornis superbus) is a member of the starling family of birds. It was formerly known as Spreo superbus.
Get up close and hand-feed our large collections of starlings and weavers with mealworms, and offer some fruits to our colourful turacos!
