Food Glorious Food

The Jurong Bird Park in Singapore is a popular tourist destination and is home to several species of rare birds. The park simulates the natural environment of birds from different habitats. While we can walk through alleys and get in close proximity to some birds, the others have to be seen from a distance.
The sequences of photographs displayed below captures the actions of birds in persuit of food. The term "Survival Of The Fittest" was reverberating in my mind when I clicked these pictures. Charles Darwin, used the term "Natural Selection" in his theories of evolution. Herbert Spencer, drew parallels between the theories of economics and Darwin's ideas on evolution. He saw the phrase "Survival Of The Fittest" in a new light as he related it to "Natural Selection". While all living things are constantly in a race to meet their needs, humans are in a race to meet their greed!

Lories are colourful birds found in in Australia, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. Visitors can feed the lories and their brightly coloured plumage is an added attraction for a nice posey snap. Here are a few pictures of the vibrant lories shot at the "Lory Loft".










From a lake for the swans to snow for the penguins the bird park has it all. While I stood watching the landscape I managed to capture a few shots of this bird looking out and finally managing to grab a fish in "The Wetlands Waterfalls" of Jurong.
