Bird: amazing. Sharpness: superb. Perch: interesting. Pose; beyond amazing. Head angle: perfect. Image design: poor; the bird is too centered and there is too much o-o-f foreground. Can you please post the full frame original?
Suggestions: crop from the left and below and eliminate the two thin black crossing branches to the left of the bird(if that fits with your personal ethics).

Great prech and excellent details.
I agree on taking some the left and bottom and adding some on top.
Well done.
