A cockatiel (Nymphicus hollandicus) is depicted in a close-up, head-and-torso shot, perched inside a light-blue wire birdcage. The bird exhibits a grey body with a yellow head and an erect yellow crest. Distinct orange circular patches are present on its cheeks, below its dark eyes. Its small, light pink beak is partially visible. The bird is positioned on a rough-textured, light brown wooden dowel, gripping it with visible talons. The cage features light-blue metal bars, vertical and horizontal, forming a grid, with an arched section visible in the upper right. The background, visible through the cage structure, is an out-of-focus, light-colored wall with faint horizontal striations. The scene is located in the city of Kurganinsk, Russia.
