Questions and Answers

1. How do you feel about birds? (why do you feel that way?)

I have to say I’m a bird-lover. It’s primarily because birds are absolutely beautiful creatures with sweet songs. Watching them fly can evoke a feeling of freedom for me.

2. How do Vietnamese people feel about birds?

Well, it’s difficult to generalize. Some people are fond of keeping birds. Some only like to eat them. And some develop a keen interest in taking pictures of birds.

3. Are there many birds near your home?

No. Birds are now a rare sight in my neighborhood or elsewhere in Hanoi center. I guess because there’re too many skyscrapers and the environment is heavily polluted. You’re more likely to find them in zoos, national parks, unpolluted cities or in the countryside.

4. Have you seen many different kinds of birds? (near your home)

No, I haven’t unfortunately. I have only seen some sparrows play on my balcony, but very rarely. When I was still living in my hometown, a small village on the outskirts of Hanoi, I spotted a variety of birds like pigeons, red-whiskered bulbuls, and spotted doves.
