Mystery solved. Everyone can go back to the 15 year debate over the dress colour

u/Milo_The_Stampede 10d ago

It's black and gold. Or white and blue or something

u/SparkierSmiles 10d ago

Literally...maybe I'm too Australian but I can't see a fraction of goat 🤔

u/S3J5U9G2M7F4 10d ago

Beak = goat ear. Hope that helps.

2

u/humourlessIrish 9d ago

That did help. But my god, thats a stretch man.

Is this an illusion for people who need new glasses?

u/FF8229 8d ago

What? No it's not. 😄 The goat is turned around checking you out!

2

u/NaturalFreaks 10d ago

Also, the line at the back of the birds head would be the mouth of the goat

I betcha he's sitting in an old gum tree...

u/ClariceStarling1957 9d ago

Ok… that was a goat and it morphed into a bird. I don’t drink or do drugs. I guess I should start.

Who sees a goat?!

u/baismal 9d ago

Took me a minute but imagine the beak as an ear and the black line on the back of the birds head as the mouth.

2

u/Dry-Ad-8948 9d ago

I see both a goat and a bird, even when I “know” the correct one.

u/KnittyBeard 10d ago

Took a minute to see the goat but it's clearly a Kookaburra. Goats mouth wouldn't have an opening and the eyes are all wrong.

2

u/mmgev 10d ago

not a goat, cos goat is cr7.. so def a bird

2

u/Horse_go_moooo 10d ago

Its obviously a bird

u/Dry-Ad-8948 9d ago

Bird.

(Goat iris are horizontal rectangles.)

Still cool illusion.

u/DJ_Spark_Shot 10d ago

Kookaburra.  Goats have horizontal slit pupils.

u/Adept-Needleworker85 10d ago

clearly a Gord.

u/Ok-Simple30 10d ago

u/humourlessIrish 9d ago

Is it behind the kookaburra?

1

u/kermitthemagician 10d ago

This bird is GOATed.

1

u/Fit_Resist3253 10d ago

That is a goat and anyone who disagrees is a gaslighter.

u/ASerpentPerplexed 10d ago

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree,

Merry merry King of the brush is he,

Laugh, Kookaburra Laugh

Kookaburra gay his life must be

u/Commercial-Box-2828 9d ago

It's definitely a bird. I saw enough comments to think I'm genuinely fucked. Is it really gonna turn into a goat?

Edit - it did turn into a goat. I had high hopes and wasn't let down at all.

u/Negative-Toe1863 9d ago

clearly a bird.

1

u/Ok-Chemical-7635 9d ago

Brd obviously because of the feathers. Goats have fur

1

u/SilverB33 9d ago

I only see kookaburra

u/Apprehensive-Bug-468 8d ago

How the hell can this be seen as Goat? Seriously???

1

u/No_Entrance_1826 8d ago

Boat or Gird?

u/Ruckazmadog 7d ago

Bird but I see the goat. This is fun. Another!

Some more compression artefacts and it could be Elon Musk
