My main concern is the metalic perch, it has a nice color but doesn't appeal to me. I also think the foot nearest to you looks weird as it is missing it's claws due to cloning(?). Overal I would try to life the shadows and reduce the highlights to dampen the strong light a little and maybe move the bird a little off center.
