Not that I don't like birds!

They're gorgeous. A joy to paint. The colors. The feathers. And especially the eyes. The beaks. Their slickness.

But the eyes. Some so big, some small. Amazing how unstandardized they are when ours are so standard. Colors that would never appear in human eyes.

And with camouflage patterns around the eyes to disguise their shape. Probably some message to predators.
