This colorful parrot-counting puzzle contains more birds than most people notice at first glance.
Start with the clearly visible parrots:
- 7 parrots across the upper branches
- 5 parrots across the lower branches
That gives us 12 obvious parrots.
Now look carefully for the three smaller hidden parrots:
- 1 small parrot between the large blue-and-yellow birds
- 1 small parrot hiding among the leaves near the bottom
- 1 parrot peeking from the hollow in the tree
Now add them together:
12 + 3 = 15
The correct answer is 15 parrots.
Many people miss the smaller birds because they blend into the branches, leaves, and colorful feathers of the larger parrots.
