Looks really noisy. Is this a big crop?
Yes, this is a sizable crop.

I'm surprised by the amount of noise at ISO 400 even if it's a big crop. Was it underexposed and recovered in post?
Doug, here is the original image with slight auto contrast correction in Picasa. Nothing else done to image. What do you think?

I think I'd include more of the original image in your crop to lessen the impact of the noise. I'd also run NR on the BG, and maybe even a little on the bird.
