model's weaknesses and how might they be improved

model is doing really poorly in classifying animals especially those with varying colors like cats and birds. Create another Convolutional layer that classifies finer details such as colors. A lower learning rate also, so that there's is faster convergence. Augmentation might also improve the model.
