Tu Su Bird Garden

Tu Su Bird Garden is a private bird sanctuary located in Tri Phai Commune, Thoi Binh District, Ca Mau Province, in southern Vietnam. Established on family-owned wetland and mangrove land, it covers about 16 hectares and provides habitat for tens of thousands of storks, herons, egrets and other waterbirds. The garden is notable as one of Ca Mau's well-known bird gardens, offering visitors a chance to observe large colonies nesting and returning at dusk in a tranquil rural setting.

Visitors can expect a rural wetland landscape of mangroves, canals and ponds with dense trees used as nesting sites for large colonies of storks, herons and egrets. The site has simple paths, viewing areas and an observation tower for watching birds. The main experience is observing birds perched, nesting and flying in flocks, especially when they return to roost in late afternoon. The environment is quiet and natural, with basic local facilities and opportunities for photography and sightseeing.

Tu Su Bird Garden is a private conservation area developed by the family of Mr. Tran Van Su (known as Tu Su) on household wetland in Tri Phai Commune. Over years of protecting trees and not hunting birds, the area naturally attracted increasing numbers of waterbirds and was later opened for visitors as an ecotourism site, becoming one of the recognized bird gardens of Ca Mau Province.

The garden represents community-based ecotourism and local conservation practice in the Mekong Delta, where private households protect bird habitats. It is used for nature education and as a rural attraction showcasing the wetland ecology and birdlife of Ca Mau.
