BIRDS  PARK

Birds'  park  in Singapore  is an   interesting  place  where  we  can  see  collection  of  birds  from  almost all other countries.   The  birds  show  in Singapore  is  very  amusing.  The  parrots   utter  some  phrases  of words like  'I love you',  'come  here'  'I want  food '  and like this.  The  boards  hanged  in front of their cages reveal  us  what  words  that  particular  bird  can utter.  In the bird  show  all  sorts  of  birds  from  crow  to  huge birds  perform  wonders  according  to  the  show  master's   instruction.
