VietNamNet Bridge – “Hunters” no longer catch one or several wild birds by using traps. Now they use nets to trap tens or hundreds of birds once.

 A "hunter" is catching birds in the net on a rice field. According to this man, each time birds were trapped, he caught from 5 to 20, or even hundreds of birds.

At the end of a hunting day, birds are caged and transported to restaurants. "On average I earn profit of VND100,000-VND400,000 ($5-$20)," the man said.

This species of bird is cheap, about VND3,000 ($0.15) per bird.

This species of birds is priced at VND60,000/bird ($3).

Along the highway from Can Tho to Dong Thap there are dozens of household pet trading birds and wild animals.

Children also sell birds at the market of Nga Bay in Hau Giang province.

The ill-fated birds are lying on the roadside waiting for customers to buy.

Customers buy wild birds on National Highway 1A in Tan Phu A hamlet, Cai Tac town, Chau Thanh A district, Hau Giang province.
