I use Nikon's focusing system, GROUP AUTO FOCUS, I keep the four dots in the middle of the viewfinder. As long as you keep the subject in the middle of the four dots, the EYES will be in focus. Easy peasee.
Continuous Auto Focus, Aperture Priority, fast shutter speed, don't stop moving the camera when you press the shutter.

I just about an hour ago went on line and did a search for setting animal eye focus for the R5 and found several sites with information and advice. Took me only a few minutes to find what I was doing wrong and corrected the AF setting. Tested it out on some backyard birds and it work well.

I can see why you feel like a fraud.
If you're shooting a bird travelling across your field of view, only one eye is visible.
If you're shooting a bird travelling directly toward you, both eyes are at the same distance.
So you can’t focus on the farther eye.

...and here I was thinking them New York birds sure must fly funny. Phew!
