DEFINITION

Noun

A park and tourist attraction in Singapore specialising in the care and breeding of birds.

由来
  • 裕廊飞禽公园（Jurong Bird Park）于1971年开幕，当时被誉为亚洲最大的飞禽公园。公园饲养了将近3,500只鸟儿，有近400种鸟类，其中有一部分是濒临绝种的鸟类。裕廊飞禽公园也是亚太地区首个拥有鸟禽医院的公园。
  • 裕廊飞禽公园的建设可追溯到当时新加坡的财政部长吴庆瑞博士。1967年，吴部长到访了巴西的飞禽公园，萌生了在新加坡建设飞禽公园的念头。此外，当时新加坡走向工业化和城市化，飞禽公园可以成为国人享受大自然的消闲去处。
  • 裕廊飞禽公园于2023年一月关闭，之后所有鸟类都迁至位于万礼（Mandai）的新飞禽公园。公园也改名为新加坡飞禽公园（Bird Paradise）。同年五月，新加坡飞禽公园开始营业。它拥有八个模拟全球各鸟类栖息地的鸟舍，可让访客走入，与鸟类进行近距离接触。
ETYMOLOGY
  • Jurong Bird Park opened in 1971 and was known as the largest bird park in Asia. Located in Jurong, the park housed a total of 3,500 birds and close to 400 species, some of which were critically endangered. It was the first park to have a bird hospital in the Asia Pacific region. 
  • The genesis of Jurong Bird Park can be attributed to former Minister of Finance Dr Goh Keng Swee. In 1967, Dr Goh visited the Rio Aviary in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and came up with the idea of establishing a bird park in Singapore, as a place for Singaporeans to relax and enjoy nature in the rapidly urbanising city-state.
  • In 2023, Jurong Bird Park closed, and all the birds were relocated to a new home in Mandai. The new park, named Bird Paradise, opened in May 2023 and features eight walk-through aviaries simulating habitats from around the world. This allows visitors to have interactive encounters with birds.
例句
