Bibhav, I would love to see the feet of the bird and composition needs less room at the top of the frame. I like the soft and nice light, the great green BG, bird´s pose and eye contact. The light area in the upper right corner is a bit distractingo in my opinion :)

Pretty bird with good eye contact, exposure and sharpness. I wish we could see the feet. Agree with Juan about the URC. I would also tone down the rock a bit.
