You are as sharp-minded as Sherlock Holmes if you can spot the parrot in the trees within 8 seconds!

To every wannabe Sherlock Holmes out there, this optical illusion is for you. But first, what exactly are they?

Optical illusions are visual phenomena that are both challenging and fascinating. These illusory puzzles are typically mind-boggling representations or paintings of specific things and/or animals. They are visual phenomena in which our brain perceives something other than reality. They can confuse us into thinking things aren't really there, or they can trick our eyes into seeing things that don't exist. The purpose of optical illusion challenges is to try to find what isn't there or is hiding in plain sight.

Today we have a fun and challenging optical illusion, fit for detectives ready for you.

Are you ready to get your mind blown? Let's get started.
