ceremony of the Thang Long-Hanoi millennium anniversary celebrations on
October 1.
The owner of the doves is Pham Tai Thu, who was born in the central
province of Quang Nam. Thu started a business in the Central
Highlands city of Da Lat growing orchids and later became famous for
his flowers, which have been presented to several central provinces
and Ho Chi Minh City .
He first started to raise birds in 1998, breeding from Vietnamese, French, Thai and Japanese varieties.
He
has so far set up bird sanctuaries in Da Lat, Dam Sen park in Ho Chi
Minh City, and Pham Van Dong park on Son Tra island and at a steel
plant in the central city of Da Nang, raising a total of 3,800
doves.
His desire to release 1,000 doves at the opening
ceremony of the Thang Long-Hanoi millennium celebrations as a gift to
the capital received the support of the city’s fathers.
Hanoi has chosen its Botanical Gardens as the doves’ new home./.
