An appealing image I like the reed stems, pity the wing tip and tail were just clipped but I like the composition. I think I would brighten the dark brown areas a little bit especially the eyes.
I just love these little jewels.
I love the hairdo! Makes this image IMHO.
I don't know what your ethics are re: cloning but I would clone out the reed on the RHS. And with a bit of work you could even take the reed on the LHS away ( although that reed doesn't bother me as much as the one on the RHS.)
In hindsight, had you shot this at a smaller aperture you would have gotten the bill sharp through to the tip.

What a lovely bird with great colors. If the exposure is true on the bird I would not change that at all. I agree on removing the RHS reed. From the looks of the photo I think the left one could be removed if you so desired without causing any issue.
