At Truc Bach Lake, hundreds of large wild birds such as: Egrets, Storks, Storks... fly around the sky after returning from foraging. Under the golden autumn sun, hundreds of wild birds freely fly in the sky, creating a truly peaceful space for the Capital.

Thuy Trung Tien Temple is located on an island in the middle of Truc Bach Lake, surrounded by lush trees, which is where flocks of birds choose to nest. This island was formerly called "stork island" because many birds came here to nest.

Dozens of bird nests were built on the tops of two banyan trees in the temple. Around 2010, the flock of birds grew to hundreds. After this time, the number gradually decreased after signs of hunting.

Young storks are practicing hopping from branch to branch on the treetops. Bird nests are made on the tops of ancient banyan trees in the grounds of Thuy Trung Tien Temple.

The island is small and has a large population of birds, making the peaceful atmosphere on the island always bustling with birdsong. If you want to verify the saying "calling like a cauldron", visit Thuy Trung Tien Temple, under the bird nests.

In recent years, the number of wild birds has gradually increased due to the abundant food source from Truc Bach Lake, West Lake and the return of peace when hunting no longer occurs.

People around the temple area said that many baby birds that fell out of their nests were discovered, fed and brought back to their nests safely.

The birds have begun to get used to the presence of humans, they comfortably preen their feathers on low tree branches a few meters above the ground.
