At last after waiting 2 weeks (raining every weekends :() i got a few bird shoots today, here is one to share. This bird was hiding under the tree so no natural light.
As always c&c are welcome.
Exposure looks good, maybe a little underexposed. Sharpness is good. I think that your composition is not so good. Maybe put the bird on the left and add canvas to the right.
Cheers,

Cute little bird, but the dark conditions really gave you a tough time. Bg looks great, and very sharp details on the bird.
What I did: Upped the exposure via Levels and added contrast as the strong flash kinda gave the image a washed out look, removed the blue cast on the plumage via Hue/Saturation and raised colour temp by adding yellow and red in Colour Balance, removed "steel-eyed" caused by the flash via burn and clone tools and added a catchlight via clone tool (borrowed pixels from steel-eye residue), patched out white-wash on perch. Just a few minutes of work was required, so you can see the awesome value of Photoshop...
...only other thing needed is to put the bird at left of the frame...hope you like!!
