Tuy Phuoc Bac Commune police coordinated with the Tuy Phuoc-Quy Nhon Forest Protection Unit to identify the species. The birds were confirmed to be Indian peafowl (Pavo cristatus).
Under Vietnamese law, the Indian peafowl is classified in Group IIB, meaning hunting and illegal trade are strictly prohibited. However, the species may be kept legally as ornamental animals if all regulatory conditions and documentation are met.
The two peafowl are currently being temporarily cared for at FLC Safari Quy Nhon Wildlife Park, located in Quy Nhon Dong Ward, Gia Lai Province, while procedures are completed for their release back into the natural forest environment.
