That is the case of Ms. Nguyen Thi Truc Dao (born in 1975, residing in Thu Dau Mot ward - formerly Phu Cuong ward, Thu Dau Mot city, Binh Duong province). Ms. Dao is a lecturer in the Faculty of Foreign Languages at Binh Duong University.
Every day, before going to teach, Ms. Dao puts rice in plastic boxes and brings them to the park at Thu Dau Mot Intersection to distribute to hundreds of dust birds. In the afternoon and evening, when returning home from work, Ms. Dao continues to bring rice to "treat" the turkey. This simple task has been repeated regularly, lasting for more than 8 years.
The colorful flocks of turkeys, leisurely feeding rice and rice in the park, bring excitement and a sense of peace to people and tourists.
According to Ms. Nguyen Thi Truc Dao, since 2017 and 2018, the turkeys have come here in large numbers. Seeing the devs making a living in the park, she went home to get rice to feed them.
The turkeys see that they are "treated" with delicious food every day, so they invite each other here every time they are large. Initially, there were dozens of pigs, but gradually the flock increased to hundreds. Up to now, the herd of turkeys here has reached about 300.
"This doughnut is a wild bird, without an owner. They go to earn food and rest on churches, pagodas, and power lines in the surrounding area. Every time I feed them, the surrounding dustburns fly down together.
I have been feeding this Pigeon for more than 8 years now. Some people say, what do birds need to feed them for? But each person has a different point of view, if I feel happy in my heart, I will continue to feed the piloton. Every month, I feed the turkey 10 small bags of rice, buying about 2-2.5 million VND. This is the money I translated and spent to buy rice to raise turkeys. If the time is too difficult, I can't do it anymore, then I stop. If I have the strength and can do it, I will continue to nurture it" - Ms. Nguyen Thi Truc Dao shared.
Feeding the turkey brought Ms. Dao joy. During the feeding process, she noticed that this is a very gentle bird. "This flock of birds also has small groups and a flock leader. However, the Pigeons never fight, nor do they ever get each other food. They live together very peacefully. Perhaps that is why the bridgehead bird is considered a bird representing peace" - Ms. Dao shared.
According to records, seeing a large flock of birds in the sky, many children chased them away for fun. There are special cases of using guns to aim at birds. To protect the turkeys, Ms. Dao often advises parents to instruct children not to chase and scare the turkeys. At the same time, remind people not to shoot pigs. There were cases where injured birds with broken legs flew into Ms. Dao's house to " take shelter". Ms. Dao took her own space to distribute rice to the turkeys and protect them until the wound healed, when the birds flew into the turkeys.
