Your photo has a lot going on and a lot to like.
You obviously liked the setting and perch a lot, but for me, the bird is almost secondary, placed too high in the
frame and the flower in front competes with it.
It is a tough comp, but I would cut some leaves off at the bottom and make a more traditional horizontal crop.
Everything is sharp and in focus, exposure could be a bit brighter as the bird is backlit. Some flash fill would have helped.
I look forward to more birds from your beautiful state.
