On 3 January 2023, Singapore said goodbye to one of the most iconic landmarks, Jurong Bird Park. Losing Landmarks followed the last day of operations at the park before it was shuttered exactly 52 years since it opened, capturing the historical milestones of this park through the people who helped to set this remarkable park that was once the world’s largest walk-in aviary, with over 600 free-flying birds.
Lim Hee, an assistant bird curator who helped selected the birds for the opening day of the park, retold stories of the magnificent manmade waterfall which was once the world’s tallest. Mohd Saad, a trainer who looks after one of the park’s oldest cockatoo, Big John, clings on with anticipation to see if the star of Jurong Bird Park will cooperate for one last performance.
Take one last flight at the iconic Jurong Bird Park.
