The Breeding & Research Centre is where the incredible journey of life begins for some of Jurong Bird's Park’s resident birds.

For the first time you get to go behind-the-scenes and get a first hand glimpse into the growth process of these birds. The moment eggs arrive at the BRC, up to the time chicks hatch and are weaned, they are hand-raised by the Centre's officers.

The BRC was incepted in 1988 but this is the first time in 24 years that it is open for walk-in public viewing. By showcasing what goes on behind-the-scenes at the BRC, they hope to inculcate a deeper appreciation of avian wildlife amongst visitors, and for them to have a better understanding of their conservation efforts.

Their avian keepers, or "bird nannies" as they are sometimes affectionately known, successfully hand rear at least 150 chicks and birds each year. This includes the successful breeding of critically endangered species like the Bali starling and the blue throated macaw and other very significant species such as the black palm cockatoo, hyacinth macaw, red-fronted macaw and the red-tailed black cockatoo.

Two incubation rooms, two nursery rooms, three weaning rooms and a kitchen are the eight areas through which you can take a peek at the eggs and chicks as they mature through life’s stages, before they are returned to their respective exhibits to join the rest of the bird park family.

A police station and two Neighbourhood Police Centres (NPCs) will be set up to cater to the rapidly growing population in the north and north-east of Singapore.

The station in Woodlands will be responsible for Woodlands, Sembawang, Yishun and Choa Chu Kang, areas that are now under the Jurong and Ang Mo Kio land divisions.

With the establishment of the Woodlands station by 2015, Singapore will have seven Police land divisions. By then, the two NPCs in Marsiling and Punggol will also be ready.

The north of Singapore is becoming a vibrant hub, with a growing resident population. The new Police Land Division and NPCs will provide faster response, increased Police presence and help Police in its fight against crime.
