My reasoning is when I first view the image my eye goes there and with them removed my eye would go to the birds beak.

They help make the shot even more interesting and colorful to me. I don’t mind seeing the bird and then having my eyes roam around seeing the environment and specular highlights. To me they add to the scene and they don’t detract from it. Glad you remembered this one. Thank-you and liked your answer about shutter release counts.
