Great light and really enjoy the 2 different poses.
Nice to see both birds sharp in the frame.
I would crop from the bottom to remove the OOF stuff,

Beautiful details, well done in very nice light. I love the quarter turn on the poses with the heads still looking the same way. This is great to look at. Too bad the wings of the left bird are behind the vegetation, but it doesn't really bother me. I agree with Gail on the crop, would also take a bit off the left.
I love the two head angles, and the plumage comparison is neat to view. The dry vegetation/pebble habitat is pretty cool too! Yes, I too could see a crop from the bottom.
