Looks a little too contrasty? Maybe at least some of the darks could go a bit brighter. Harsh light did not help with that. Great interaction, and I like the composition. If inclined to you could eliminate the three brighter circles in BG near bottom.
Both critiques above are excellent as is the image. I would suggest lightening the face of the bird in the back--great head angle on that one BTW.

I was thinking about lightening of the head of rear bird but later decided to leave it that way. I must admit that I didn’t notice the bright circles in the background, indeed it would be better without them. Thanks for your comments!
Cheers
If the bird on the right, would've turned the head to give a profile view as the other one, this shot would've been even better, I still think is great!!! Congratulations! BG, Light, Colors, all very nice!
