A big welcome to BPN! You will find it a great place to learn and grow as a nature photographer, and have some fun along the way!
Nice colors in bird and background, well exposed. Interesting perch. Good look back pose.
The head/eye look a bit soft to me, as if focus point was on the back.
If the image quality will allow, I could see a tighter crop from the left, with a balancing crop from the top to keep it from getting too square.
Look forward to more images.
Cheers
Randy

Love the colors and the pose and eye contact, I agree with Randy that the image may be a bit stronger if you try the tighter crop to the left. Nice Job!
