    Rohan,

    Thanks or sharing this species. Overall the bird seems a bit soft. Your BG fairly cluttered. For me image is really in the lower right quadrant

    Hi Rohan. I like the eye contact, and your exposure is good. The bird is a little soft and would benefit from some additional sharpening. I would definitely crop a fair amount off the top of the frame. You might try making the yellow spots in the BG a little more green; they draw the eye away from the bird.

    Its good to see their enviroment, but in this, the pose would suit more of a vertical crop. A colourful BG, and agree some more sharpening would work.

    am not very fond of the square frame. looks bit busy perch and bg and you should try to reduce the blue tone in the bg.

    All my main concerns have already been mentioned. This looks like a lovely spot with plenty of good colour and open areas...should be a good place to practice :-)
