Dalia ji: My first response is to say it looks like the underside of a water lily leaf...
but then looking close... all leaves have the spicules/thorns.... all leaves could not be upside down, unless a nearby pond was just cleaned out and rubbish thrown, where the underside of all the leaves is now on top... but then I may be missing something... and may be there is a frakensteinine aquatic plant that has such numerous thorns/ spicules on top surface.... some more astute or experienced botanists would know... Secondly, the parakeet seems to be muddy head to toe... some sort of mishap, may be... intriguing.... may be your friend may yet tell us the story attached to this tableau...
