The image, after being shared on social networks, quickly received thousands of likes and comments. Netizens expressed their delight and surprise at this albino bird and called for not hunting or harming wild animals, so that they can live naturally and safely.

A representative of the Save Vietnam Wildlife Center in Vietnam said that the white feathers of this bird are a sign of albinism, which is very rare in the wild and more common in captive species. According to the representative, in the case of a free-ranging bird, it is likely to be a different species, not native to Vietnam.

"Many species of lapwings are relatively similar in size and shape, so identification is mainly based on feather color and pattern. However, with albino birds, this feature is lost, making species distinction more difficult," said the representative.
