Not in this one! There are some cages, sure, very big ones, for extremely rare/ valuable birds as well as for birds of prey. But many birds at the Jurong Bird Park are free - like the parrots in the painting. There's even a big flock of flamingoes stalking around freely - no idea why they don't fly away. The absolut kicker in this park is a huge (and I mean HUGE) "voliere", with a "rainforest" and a 100 foot waterfall, raised walkways - and all the birds flying around freely in there. It's super! And every once in a while there's "thunder" and a "tropical downpour" (it doesn't rain on the walkways )
