The foliage under the birds tail bothers me.
On the other hand, the foliage coming in from the upper left is very nice.
The black spot in the middle of the beak is distracting and would be easy to remove.

I hope that helps.

Splendid detail and color in this image Sanjeev, that bright eye is wondeful, and looks like the bright whites have held up quite well. Not so sure about not seeing the bottom of the legs though or the bits of foliage entering the frame

Nice capture. That eye really draws me in. I also really like the head angle and composition.
