None. Those objects are all constructed at runtime.

Did everyone forget that birds aren’t real?

I lie to the captcha so they don't know I'm onto them

Captcha isn't about what is real or not real. It's about training ML models to appear more humanlike based on soliciting actual human responses.

Wait, what is the reason for writing the name of an animal on top of animal images when asking for a man made object? Wouldn't it make more sense to mix animal images with images of man made objects with text of animal names on top to trick LLMs?

Well thats the best part. Captcha and similar systems are actually outsourcing the user to train image recognition software. That is why the images have begun to change from real pictures to more and more obscure generated images. The system already knows you are a human by how your mouse moves and stuff. Thats why cloudflare happens nearly instantly.
