Tam
Nong Bird Park, located in Tam Nong district, in Dong Thap province, covers
8,000 ha and 53 km in paths.
In this park, visitors can observe red-headed cranes, one of 15 endangered
species of cranes in the world. In fact, cranes have played an important role in
history. Thousands of years BC, images of cranes were used in interior
decoration in European aristocratic families. In the Orient, cranes were and are
still worshipped as examples of faithfulness and national longevity. Different
from any other species of birds in the area, cranes find their food only on
land; they must therefore migrate to avoid the rainy season in Dong Thap Muoi.
Cranes stay in Tam Nong Park from December to June.
