The bird looks good and I do like the perch. I do agree with Randy that it is a little bright but I think you did a good job given the bright conditions the photo was taken in. The background is great.
I like the bird, the pose, and the SQ crop. You did as well as possible. The bird and the leaves look over-sharpened to me....

Very nice capture, and I like the composition. Colors and exposure look good despite the strong light. I feel the bird and perch are both oversharpened.
