The birds are diverse in color and species, with some having vibrant plumage while others appear more subdued. In the background, a cityscape is visible, although it is somewhat indistinct. A notable detail in the painting is the inclusion of a white horse in the background, which adds to the sense of activity and life in the scene. The overall atmosphere of the painting appears to be one of vibrancy and energy. For more information on the artist behind this work, you can look up Ferdinand van Kessel the Elder.
