Great details as shown. Nice pose just toward the lens from parallel. Nice, even light is great.
At first I didn't think I'd like all the business going on below but I think it works okay because the subject rises above so well. I might opt to trade some from the bottom for a touch more on top.
Curious, what is the thin dark strip at the below the beak just up from the chest? Appears maybe a slight masking remnant or something?
Side note, really like that remaining orange on the left of the frame. The round shape actually balances and sort of offsets all the twigs.
