Leo,
Nice exposure and composition.
Only thing I can suggest is a better shooting angle to improve this image. If possibility exists, I would go for a lower shooting angle at subjects level.
Thanks for sharing.

Leo, welcome to BPN and thank you for sharing. I like the "gathered" pose and the eye contact. You did a great job of keeping the whites in check! Could maybe use a little more sharpness in the eye. Good advice by Sid on getting lower when you can for this kind of shot. Looking forward to more...

Leo, I agree with the other comments but I'm also seeing a LOT of artifacts in the BG - is this by any chance a significant crop? (If so, it's always good to let us know that up front.) I'd definitely give the bird a bit more sharpening and you might try a hue/saturation adjustment where you pull up the yellows and bring them down a bit so the greens are a bit more prominent in the foliage.
Nice crop and presentation.
