Optical illusions are designed to make you look twice at an image and leave you wondering what is wrong. They are cleverly made images that deceive your visual perception, tricking your brain into seeing something that is not there. Even movies require optical illusions since they rely on your brain's persistence of vision to create the illusion of movement.
In this picture, there are four doves hidden among a pack of cockatoos. However, the task of finding them is tough as our mind struggles to distinguish between a dove and a cockatoo, especially when the picture is dominated by the latter. The illustration is designed to be confusing and challenging for anyone watching it.
Our minds are not built to attend to every single detail. In a world where everyone is constantly on the go, paying attention to details is often neglected. This, in turn, trains our minds to overlook the smaller things, making it difficult to find the doves in this picture.
If you managed to spot all four doves, congratulations! You have great attention to detail and visual perception. But if not, here are some hints to help you:
Starting from the top, count nine birds from the right side to find a dove. Near the bottom right corner of the image, a dove is near a cockatoo wearing sunglasses. On the left side of the image, a dove can be found near a cockatoo wearing a purple muffler. Finally, another dove is located next to the previous one, beneath a cockatoo sporting an orange muffler.
If you didn't manage to spot all four doves on your first attempt, don't worry. There will always be more opportunities in the future. Keep practising brain teasers and optical illusions to help keep your brain sharp and alert.
