It's a personal thing but I think it looks even better if croppped cross the line of the stem of the branch so you lose the background at the bottom left. You may then want to crop from the left a bit to maintain the x,y proportions of the image (does all th s make sense...overdosing on chocolate at the moment )
Yet again a lovely image, you definately come up with them.

Hi Rene
Great composition, perch, BG and of course a super bird - all round a first class image. I did notice the colours looked a little muted and on checking you have not converted to sRGB for posting also feel a further tweak in 'levels' or 'curves' to improve the contrast and saturation would enhance a very fine image!

Very nice indeed. Love the comp and head turn is perfect. Detail and blacks are excellent. Agree slightly muted breast colours I assume due to the non-SRGB?

Another superb image from you. I personally don't mind the "more muted" colours/saturation of not converting to sRGB. I think sometimes we over saturate and contrast our images on the web. (personal thing).

I had another look at it with David's suggestion and it certainly makes a good image excellent.
Best wishes
