From the Canon Global site: "The Animals AF subject setting and Eye AF are very effective when the subject is relatively close, there are no obstructions around it, and you can distinguish the bird's eye. However, there are times when a bird will hide in the grass or in the branches of a tree to protect itself from predators. When the subject is perched or not moving around much, it would be best to focus the shot within the frame using a single AF point or surrounding points."
