Two birds are present in the image. One bird on the left is tall with a slender black body and a tufted crown, while the other bird on the right is shorter with a rounder body and a white crest on its head. In the background, there are greenish-brown trees with branches, leaves, and fruit. The color palette is mainly natural hues such as black, white, earth tones, red, and green. The tall bird is on the left side near the left tree, while the smaller bird is on the right side in front of the right tree. Both birds are situated on a grassy patch.
