The Arizona State Bird and the largest of the wren family. Happy to get catchlight in both eyes and the are both looking the same way. Wishing I could have gotten more of the bird in the background

I like the perch and a two for one is always nice. It does seem like your focal point though was placed on the furthest point in the back because the front bird is not sharp and it most likely should be at f/10 (depending on the distance from you to the subject)

Lovely light and having both birds together is a bonus. Did you by chance get multiple shots before they moved and have one with the nearer bird in crisp focus? You might be able to combine the two, if you do.
