One of nature’s imitation facility is the Jurong Bird Park. Bird park covering 20 hectares located in the middle of the Jurong industrial area. He can be regarded as a successful imitation of nature. Trees and shrubs grow thick. While the small birds who accidentally seen flying freely moving among them.
Some copies did look odd. For example an artificial tree made of huge concrete. It seems to imitate the trees as we commonly encounter in the forests of Borneo.
However, some other artificial, like a high waterfall, completely original look like natural creations. Natural atmosphere of calm around the waterfall is reinforced by the emergence of fog in between the leaves and along the artificial river. We seem to be in the middle of the mountain nature. Do not be surprised, it was too artificial fog, which is forced from a blower is hidden among the plants.
Although entirely artificial, no denying that the natural atmosphere in the bird park are felt. One possible cause, is the concept of an open cage, which is used for several types of birds. Some birds such as parrots, cockatoos, pigeons and flamingos, placed in the cage open. It really is not separate from nature.
That said, the birds were actually sometimes not, and they could have a bird flew out of the park if they want. Not a physical barrier with the wilderness had also brought the entry of wild birds.
In the pool intended for flamingos, for example, in the afternoon often seen various other bird species, which settled down to rest on the edge of the water before nightfall. Presence of various types of birds that just gave the impression that as flamingo pond is really a source of water in the wild, where various types of animals to rest at night.
