Hi Paul,
Nice picture, but I would crop a little from the top. I would remove almost everything dark at the top, imo that looks much better.

Agree on losing some from the top... also feel that if you are going to include the piece of the perch on the right of the image it needs more of it to anchor it better in the frame...

I'm definitely struggling with the composition here Paul. I don't mind the dark bit at the top (it balances the green at the bottom), but I find the branch on the right competes for my attention. Without it, I think it works, even with the bird at the extreme edge of the frame. Perhaps a little off the bottom to take out the grey bit would also help.
