How Many Birds Are in the Backyard? Answer

Did you get it right?

This backyard bird-feeder puzzle asks you to count every cardinal and sparrow around the feeder, fence, shrubs, watering pan, and porch chair.

The Answer

The correct answer is: The intended answer is 19 birds..

Here is why

1. Count 5 birds on the feeder tray.
2. Add 4 birds on the fence rail.
3. Add 3 birds partly visible in the shrubs.
4. Add 4 birds around the watering pan.
5. Add 3 birds near the porch chair area. That makes 19.

Why people miss it

The first count usually catches the feeder and fence birds, then misses the birds partly hidden in the shrubs or sitting low near the chair.
