It’s Not 9… So How Many Birds Are There?
At first glance, most people quickly count 9 birds—three rows of three—and move on. But this puzzle is designed to trick your eyes.
Look closer.
Some of the birds are overlapping, meaning there is more than one bird in what looks like a single position.
Let’s count carefully:
- Top row: 3 birds
- Middle row: 4 birds (one of them is actually two birds together)
- Bottom row: 6 birds (each group contains two overlapping birds)
