Stuart, Big congrats on this one....colors are rich and saturated and the babies are cute as a button. I'd trim a good bit off the right and make it a strong vertical, add just a smidge to the left to give the front one a bit more gazing room and dodge the catchlight in the front one's eye. This is an image that I would be super happy to have in my files. DOF is excellent. Did you crop this one much?

Grace pretty much said what I had in mind. The colors are really rich. Nice image

Stuart,

This is the best of the batch. Colors are great, clutter is reduced, and both guys are pretty sharp.

I echo Grace's comments about the crop.

Very nice shot.
I really like the poses of both birds, nice light, and like the habitat.
Well done.
