Unfair question because we only see the bottom portion of the bird and perhaps that's why majority votes is wrong, once again! I'm definitely glad I made my own choice and got it correct!

The picture did not show the whole bird so no head.
What was the point anyway?
David de Tremaudan
It was particularly difficult because all of the examples were acceptors and the type shown could fit any of these examples.

Shoot, Majority failed again

Used double chance and got it correct with second guess.

It is a stark reminder of what man is doing to the planet. I found it very sad.
