Jurong Falls, Man-made waterfall in Jurong Bird Park, Singapore
Jurong Falls is a man-made waterfall in Jurong Bird Park that channels water down multiple levels into a large aviary below. The waterfall creates a wet environment filled with plants that attract and support different bird species.
The waterfall was built in 1971 as part of the opening of Jurong Bird Park, Singapore's first major wildlife park. It was designed to give visitors a space where they could watch birds in a natural-like setting.
The waterfall and surrounding aviary show how water shapes the habitat for African birds that live here. You can watch the birds interact with the water features throughout the day as they swim and drink.
The best views of the waterfall and aviary come from the observation platforms at the top, where you can see hundreds of birds. Wear sturdy shoes since the area around the waterfall gets wet and slippery.
The waterfall is powered by a complex pipe system that recycles water and pumps it down over 30 meters through multiple tiers. This setup allows operators to control water quality and keep the environment stable for the birds.
