Aw, so cute! It's so fluffy! ("Fluffy" isn't really the right word, but it'll do.)

This photograph itself is nice too. The focus is good, and I love how much detail you can see in the feathers. I like the colours - they're quite muted but it works.
The composition is great as well - there's just the right amount of space to the left of the bird - but I think you could crop a little bit off the right side. Not too much, but I think a slight crop would help to push the focus towards the eye.
Also, the full-view is really quite pixellated, which you might want to address. =(

Adorable photo'. :aww:
