Not that I know of. Most often technical considerations rule, in particular DOF. Birds with a flatter face like owls can be kept mostly within the DOF when both eyes are shown but for most birds, both eyes in the photo results in a seriously OOF beak. A profile view skirts around this problem. Thanks for looking and commenting.
