Nice diagonal lines, good pose, pleasant background.

For personal taste, and to show the bird a bit better, I would consider some subtle cropping as shown below. The IQ is starting to suffer a bit from the crop, but you can do better with the raw file.

Cheers

Lovely background, pose and colors on this bird. The recrop works even better.
