The junkyard illusion challenge
A mind-bending image was shared on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) by user Piyush Tiwari. This post features a photograph that appears to be from a rural or industrial setting. It shows a massive collection of discarded tyres — some stacked neatly, others scattered across the ground. The image has a vintage look, thanks to its black-and-white or sepia tone, giving it an old-school feel.

Hidden among the clutter of tyres is a bird, camouflaged in such a way that it blends seamlessly into its surroundings. The challenge is simple yet incredibly tricky: Can you spot the hidden bird within 4 seconds?
