Man this is a nice parrot image. Head angle, perch and background are great. I am assuming this is a set up near a feeder? I do think you could bring out the beautiful tones of the bird a bit more. I would try adding some blacks to the neutrals in selective color. Might also try a curves adjustment. Just to make the bird pop a bit more and add some more depth to it.

Thanks, I will give it a try on your suggestion and see how it looks.

Yes, this was at a feeder in Laguna del Lagarto, these Parrots are the most commong visitors there.

Now that's what I call a green image. Great bird, pose, perch and comp. Isaac's suggestion worth a try.

Beautiful detail, pose and background. Yes I feel the images just a little thin so adding some blacks will bring this up a couple notches. Well done.
