Jurong BirdPark is a unique zoo dedicated to the display and conservation of birds from around the world.

Magian worked on the concept and media presentation for an exhibit about the hummingbirds of Central and South America. The exhibit has an Interpretive Center with a number of indoor aviaries. It also has a very large walk-through aviary.

Magian undertook the initial development of the concept design for interpretation. Magian also designed, created and installed:

• video programs
• interactive touchscreen programs
• soundscapes for both the interpretive building and the walk-through aviary

The programs were created to explain the fascinating and complex physiology of hummingbirds.

The programs make extensive use of video and animation. Sounds recorded by Les Gilbert were used in the creation of multi-channel soundscapes that provide a rich soundscape ambience for the exhibits.  The soundscapes are managed and controlled by the Magian DiAC system.

The touchscreen program won an Australian ATOM Multimedia Award in 1998.
