The #Education for #Nature – #Vietnam #ENV, one of the country’s #pioneering social organisations in #wildlife #conservation, has released a 2 minute video clip titled "Chim troi keu cuu" (wild birds cry out for help) to urge the #community to refrain from #WildBird consumption and join #protection efforts.
The clip exposes haunting and cruel moments of the widespread destruction of the feathered animals, giving only a glimpse of the acts prevalent in many localities nationwide.
Vietnam is among the 25 countries with the richest #diversity of wild #birds species globally. However, #poaching and #IllegalTrading pose serious threats to hundreds of #indigenous and #migratory bird species in the country. In localities such as #QuangNinh and #ThaiBinh in the north and #ThuaThien - #Hue in the central region, #poachers employ sophisticated methods including decoys and birdsong mimicking devices to lure the animals, followed by nets, traps, or guns for capture. This rampant hunting seriously jeopardises Vietnam's #biodiversity.

Amazing what you see when you’re watching something else! I was photographing Vervet Monkeys at Werribee Zoo when this New Holland Honeyeater landed in the bush next to me. There were no flowers, so I think he was just curious.

Forecast is for pretty cold and snowy week. Remember the feathered friends who really struggle in this weather. Birdseed, dried fruit, and sliced apples will bring myriad birds flocking. Chaffinches, greenfinches, siskins, sparrows, Dunnock, jackdaws (my favourite), tits, blackbirds and goldfinches in our garden today. #wildbird
