Nice, I always enjoy images that say more than "I'm a bird". This one does. Not always possible to find, but when you do, they are special in my view.
For critique, since that is what we are here for. I think cropping could help. There is a lot of extra space that pulls away from the subject. If the full birds were shown, it might fit better, but the head shot would be better cropped in my view.
However, Happy Easter to you and yours.

Sorry about the cropping comment above. All the time I was writing the comment, only the heads were showing. I thought something was wrong at first, but it never changed??? : < (
Now that I see the whole image I like it more.

that's just not fair!
beautiful interaction. i knew i should have stayed.
Intimate moments in nature always make for winners in my book!
Really like this well doe. I do feel that its maybe a bit dark what do you think
Lovely interaction Fabs. I also feel you could play in PS and bring out some more detail. Still, well captured.
What a moment ... and you do seem to have an eye for these things. Concerning the light, I would just shamelessly mess with Mother Nature to draw more attention to the heads and crossed bills.
