Don’t look at me like that.

Isn’t this an intense look? Male cardinals have an image problem…in my professional opinion. 

I think a simple change by Mother Nature could solve the whole issue. I’d suggest that the less dark feathers to the side of the eye, (see arrow), add to the impression of a stern demeanor.

An easy fix would be to add some interesting eyelashes and replace the black feathers under the beak with red feathers.

I’m aware that this is a radical proposal…but I think many cardinals would like to soften their, “look”.
