🔎 Solution

After opening the image, I noticed something odd in the bottom-right corner: a small pattern showing multiple birds sitting on wires. It didn't look random, so it was likely a clue.

Based on the style, I searched for similar encodings and eventually came across Symbol Cipher, which includes a variant known as Birds on a Wire Cipher. The positions and number of birds determine letters based on the cipher's grid.

Using that method to decode the sequence, the output revealed the text BLUEBIRD:
