A lovely bg for a very colorful bird. If you have more canvas, I think I'd take some off the top and leave more on the bottom to put the bird higher in the frame.

Agree with the bird being higher in the frame. I'm seeing some processing evidence arounds the edges, especially the branch. Toning down the midtones would improve the image too IMO.

I like the diagonal perch and the bg color. I too would have preferred the bird higher in the frame.
There seem to be a lot of PP artifacts around the bird and the perch.
There are some hot whites on the shoulder and the wing.
I would also try to tone down the highlights on the perch.
