Weekend Fun in Singapore - Close Encounter with Animals


We happen to drive pass while looking for the mushroom farm. There was a bored-looking horse looking at us driving pass which caught our attention.

The Animal Resort
Address: T81 Seletar West Farmway 5, Singapore 798061
This resort is for animals, not humans, although humans are known to behave like animals under the influence of alcohol and coffee overdose....



This pair of birds greeted us at the entrance when we walked in after parking our car. The stench of animal manure greeted us as well, but being townsfolk who only managed to see animals, well... at least live ones, in the zoo.... we were pretty much excited















These geeses got us pretty much excited too.


They were just roaming in the resort, wondering what's all the fuss about eating out of people's hands.
A small fountain with fishes adds a touch of beauty to the place.

















In the cages, there are peacocks, chickens and a red spotted hissing duck which my dear boy was convinced that it has contracted some duck disease until he saw several others of the same species

This kid is totally not afraid of feeding the animals.... either not afraid or oblivious to fear....

Then while we were wondering how does this boring place survive, when 2 of these cranes come flying out of nowhere from the sky and landed gracefully infront of us.

These cranes showed no fear towards the human race and so trustingly hung out with the kid with bird feed.





And as we can see, they do not stand on ceremony with anyone with bird feed in their hands.

If the cranes are just too much for you, there are rabbits and guinea pigs which live together in a shack.






































Did you see the incredible hulk of a rabbit over there????



You can buy food for all of the animals from the owner and children will enjoy feeding the rabbits who are enthusiastic about the carrots.










You know what they say about birds of the same feather....



It looks like it's testing out the water, doesn't it?


Colorful parrots.


These 2 reminds me of my favourite 2 radio deejays on a certain morning show....


The horse that looks bored and can't be bothered by the visitors.




The parrot that goes "AHHH---LLLOOOO!!!" every few minutes, even when we said bye to it....



Her last goodbye gift as we holler for her to get in the car....


As always with our outings to farms and parks and animal resorts, we could not bear to leave the animals but we still say our sweaty and sticky goodbyes. This would be a nice place to visit after going to the mushroom farm.
