The internet is currently obsessed with this tricky visual puzzle that is leaving even the sharpest minds scratching their heads.

Optical illusions are more than just fun distractions. These are interesting puzzles that look into how your brain processes visual information.

Today's challenge is a classic "find the hidden object" puzzle, and it features a flock of quirky ostriches.

Somewhere in this feathered crowd, there is a hidden umbrella. Can you find it? 

Researchers suggest these types of puzzles help improve cognitive function and attention to detail. However, there is a catch: you only have 11 seconds to beat the clock.

Most people take over 30 seconds to locate the umbrella because the shapes and curves of the ostriches' necks and wings mimic the silhouette of a folded umbrella.

Are you ready? Set your timer, focus your eyes, and start searching!

Optical Illusion IQ Test: Find The Hidden Umbrella Among Ostriches In 11 Seconds!

This specific illusion requires you to look for something out of place, that one odd umbrella.

Now when your brain looks at a repetitive pattern - like the feathers and long necks of dozens of ostriches, it is common to perceive all the same and miss out on the umbrella.

This is why the umbrella, which shares similar lines and curves with the birds, 'disappears' into the background.

You must be super focused and observant to narrow down the umbrella.

Focus on the minute details like textures, colours, and shapes. 

Systematically scan the image to spot the umbrella camouflaged cleverly among the ostriches.

If you are overwhelmed, divide the image into sections. Scan each section like a hawk.

Zoom in on the image, if need be. Look for unusual patterns, shapes, or outlines.

The hidden object is often tucked into the corners or along the identical looking objects in the image.

Observe for contrasts. The umbrella might have a slight colour or shape difference than the ostriches.

Keep an eye out for the subtle differences and anomalies.

Don't get distracted by ostriches. 

Keep looking. Be focused at identifying the umbrella. 

The umbrella might not as you may expect it to be. So be open-minded and look beyond your assumptions.

The umbrella is there, hiding in plain sight. 

Do you think you will be able to spot it before time runs out?

Hurry up! Time is ticking! Only few seconds left!

Any luck? Did you spot the hidden umbrella?
