Tan My Commune authorities said on November 11 that they had coordinated with relevant agencies to transfer the birds to the Wildlife Rescue, Conservation and Development Centre under the Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park Management Board.
The birds were found separately by Vo Tri Dung from Duong Thuy Village and Le Minh Oanh from Tien Phong Village, who voluntarily handed them over to local authorities for protection and care.
Officials identified the birds as a brahminy kite (Haliastur indus) and a black kite (Milvus migrans).
Tan My Commune authorities worked with Le Thuy forest rangers and other agencies to complete the procedures for transferring the birds to the specialised rescue centre.
The centre will monitor their health, provide care and help restore their ability to survive in the wild. They may be released into their natural habitat once they meet the necessary conditions.
Local authorities praised the two residents for voluntarily surrendering the birds, describing their actions as an example of community responsibility in wildlife protection.
They said such efforts could raise public awareness, discourage illegal hunting, captivity and wildlife trading, and contribute to biodiversity conservation.
Tan My authorities advised residents who discover stray, injured or potentially illegally traded wildlife to notify local officials, forest rangers or police for assistance.
Residents were also reminded not to hunt, capture, transport, trade or consume wildlife in violation of the law.
Authorities said rescuing, rehabilitating and returning wild animals to their natural habitats would help protect biodiversity and strengthen community involvement in conservation across Quang Tri Province.
