On March 11, Mr. Lam Hong Tuan, Deputy Director of the Management Board of Phu My Species - habitats Conservation Area, Giang Thanh District, said: 4 red-crowned cranes landed in the rice field in the buffer zone of Phu My Species - habitats Conservation Area at noon on March 11.
Mr. Tuan also said that for the past half month, red-crowned cranes have often floated near the reserve, and today they have just landed in rice fields about 300 meters from people's homes to make a living. The crab's favorite food is tubers, in addition to catching fish, snails, and mice in the fields, so they land in the rice fields of the people to prepare for harvest. Compared to previous years, the crab has returned to Phu My nearly a month earlier.
