Well maybe not three, perhaps more precise number of birds in this picture is 4. It depends whether the nose element is also constructed from a bird or is it some kind of insect? Anyway, is it only me or do these birds and insects form some kind of a gentle female face when observed from distance? It sure appears so!

It looks like 4 birds to me.
Wow over a million people have the widget sadly I’m not one of them I have the Google Chrome extension instead.
that’s really cool
I see 4 birds, and the face
its on my side bar on windows and i generally have a closer look at all of the illusions whenever they change and if its a good one will look more than once to see peoples comments
There are four birds, no insects. It does appear to be a female. I really don’t like it……:)
I personally love the daily optical challenges!!! Thank you…
I use the igoogle gadget. I see it every time I open up my homepage. I really enjoy your gadget. Keep up the good work.
No shit, Sherlock!

Separated at birth?

i check everyday to see if there is a new illusion on my mac
I love the widget for the Vista sidebar. It’s the very first one I have active :)
How on Earth do you see the nose bird as an insect? It’s a light-colored bird on a twig.
the nose is a hummingbird
bouh!
Nice!I love face illusions!
P.S. The creature in the middle is not an insect, it’s a humming bird, which is one of my fav animals :)
I noticed both of them at once. Good illusion, anyway!
(And, yay!)
i think the nose one looks like a bird
I have the iGoogle widget. Whenever there is a new illusion I look at it here.
wonder where the shadow to form the nose came from?
Nice one.
I use the Windows Gadget most often,i.e. everyday.
Pretty, but it makes me wonder if the artist can make a male face with the same 4 birds.
i dont get it
the nose kinda looks like a humming bird to me so you might be right about the four birds.
I like the effect though.
COol.
I use the igoogle widget.
I actually saw the face first. Sometimes I think having bad eyesight makes it easier to see some illusions.
I think this illusion is a bit forced. You can see a face, but it’s in the same way any 4 small shapes can make a face; It’s not the highest quality illusion.
I didn’t see anything other than birds at first, then shifted my eyes to start reading the paragraph and my periferal vision picked up the face right away. :D
I SEE THE FACE ND THE THREE BIRDS
THTS SOOO COOL!:P
purely elementary in its form…can easily be perceived…having 4 birds and a face…!!!where’s the insect???
This wrong shape….every corners must be not conected
our views must be unity to see it !
4 burds 1 face (btw dont say o danni cant spell bla blah blah because i am only 10 and i hav lurning dificoltys
4 birds how cool
