Bob, What a sweet look he's giving you. I like the rich background. In looking at this for a bit, I feel that the composition could be improved. More room for him to look into would be nice, and to me the space on the right (as viewed) could be reduced. I do not care for the stray branch, nor the broken piece on the main perch. Maybe play around with the comp a bit and see if any of these ideas appeal to you.

I prefer this pose to the one posted the other day. I like the nice straight forward eye contact and h/a.

Bird does seem a bit tight in frame particularly on the left side. I also like losing the branch on right side.

Nice job on the exposure and very sharp as well.
