DescriptionThe image is a depiction of two birds resting upon branches. The birds are of the same specimen and are comparable in size. Both birds have blue faces and wings, black beaks, and yellow bellies and tails. The bird in front has an orange breast, and the bird behind has a green breast. The branches upon which the birds rest on are thin and separate. The branches diverge from each other near the middle of the left side of the image. There are green leaves and some orange flowers put out by the branch beneath the birds.On View
