I think the comp on this image is lovely Dale, and the bird is a nice change from a KF too. Not that there's anything wrong with KF's. The perch is complimentary too. Well done!

I agree with the above Dale. A lovely image of a lovely bird. Pose is great with the bird turning to look back into the frame. Nice one.
