The Bg is pretty cluttered but I liked the pose.

very nice calling pose for both with open beaks! I agree BG is not ideal and looks like the light was a bit harsh/contrasty. nice work

Love the chick's poses. Nice and sharp where it needs to be.

SH, EXP, and BKGR OK with me. You did well with the rather harsh light and did a great job catching the peak of begging action. I would either crop from the bottom or give that green sprig more of a border--most likely the former. My biggest problem is with the dark seed head (???) in front of the bird on our right (but nothing that could have done or do anything about).

Cute scene, I like the double food-begging poses. I agree with Artie about cropping a bit off the bottom...as is the bottom-most part of that sprig is clipped in an unflattering way. I'd also tone down the perch. Overall a tough situation that you made the best you could with...
Good symmetrical poses, and both pop nicely from the surrounding BG. I agree with the others to take a bit off the bottom, and toning down the perch.
