 The watercolor painting appears at a first glance childish, but it allows more interpretations.The picture can be interpreted as a critic by Klee, who shows through denaturation of the birds, that the world technization heist the creatures' self-determination.Other examples from that period are "der Goldfisch" (The Goldfish) from 1925, "Katze und Vogel" (Cat and Bird), from 1928, and "Hauptweg und Nebenwege" (Main Road and Byways) from 1929.
