(Baonghean.vn) - Autumn is the time when wild birds appear in large numbers in the fields of Nghe An. And this is also the season when they are hunted most intensively to sell at markets and supply to restaurants and eateries.

| Because of the profits from hunting wild birds, many people in Quynh Luu, Dien Chau, Nghi Loc, Yen Thanh... now make their own tools to set bird traps everywhere. Photo: Tan Bao. |

| After being trapped, birds are locked in net cages to be taken away for consumption. Photo: Tan Bao. |

| Birds are sold to traders to be sold in markets. Usually, after plucking their feathers, they are grilled over charcoal to make them look more "eye-catching". Mr. Tan Bao |

Wild birds are sold everywhere in the market in the province and there are many buyers, so they are increasingly hunted to extinction. This is a worrying situation, because the flocks of birds are decreasing, causing ecological imbalance... Photo: Tan Bao. |
