But that bias4 turns out depends how they look at. When researchers gave black face finches a choice, they could flirt5 with black females, red face females or fellow male. Males with both eyes open cozy6 to the dull with dark feathers. But when researchers covered the male's  right eye, the male sing and dance with everyone, or hopped7 up randomly8 looking lost. You can use either eyes to see the finding in the journal Biology Letters. The right eye feeds and folds the left half of the brain, so it seems males are really particular when it comes to choosing a partner are not in their right minds.
