Woman spots what she thinks is a Happy Bird while alone in the woods. Then suddenly realizes her mistake.
Nature never ceases to amaze us. For many people, being outdoors feels like a therapy for both their body and mind. The breeze, the freshness the trees fill our lungs with, and the stunning colors make for an incredible experience that help us relax and gather strength for the remaining of the week.
An Australian woman, Kym Beechey, who loves spending her days outdoors. She appreciates the beauty of the nature and never misses a change to take photos of stunning sights she often stumbles upon.
One day, as she walked through the forest, she came across what she believed to be a baby tawny frogmouth (a bird resembling an owl).
She was in a hurry to take her phone out and take a photo of the sweet bird. However, when she zoomed in, she realized it wasn’t a bird at all but a banksia pod, often-funny looking pods that grow out of banksia trees, and are rather unique in their appearance.
These trees grow predominantly in south western Australia, though can also be found in New Zealand and Papua New Guinea. Their pods are often compared to pine cones.
The pods burst open, often in the heat of forest fires, and that’s the process when they release their seeds.
When she realized her ‘mistake,’ Kim had a good laugh about it and decided to share the photo of what she believed to be a bird for other to see.
Did this deceive you as well?

Nature has a way of playing tricks on us, and Kym Beechey’s experience in the forest is a perfect example of that. What she thought was a happy bird turned out to be a banksia pod, a unique and interesting plant that resembles a bird from a distance.
It’s moments like these that remind us to slow down and truly appreciate the beauty that surrounds us. Whether it’s the intricate details of a flower or the way sunlight filters through the leaves, there is always something awe-inspiring in nature if we take the time to look.
So next time you’re out in the woods, keep your eyes peeled for any surprises nature may have in store for you. And remember, even if things aren’t always what they seem, there is always something to smile about in the great outdoors.
