Petushka

A green parakeet stands on a reflective surface, facing forward, as a bright, fiery energy beam erupts from its beak and streaks toward a second parakeet perched on a stack of papers to the right. The beam pulses and expands, illuminating the scene, while the first parakeet remains stationary, its body slightly shifting as the beam continues to fire. The second parakeet remains still, seemingly absorbing the blast. The background is a plain, light-colored wall.
