The second shot is better, very sharp. Perhaps you can increase its saturation.

I like the second one more ! Great details !

The slant of the branch and the tilt of the head in the 1st one makes me feel abit like i'm going to fall off the branch.

How many of these birdies did you manage to see ? I see them around my place in a big pack of about 9 of them, the bigger ones will sit on branches and look around, while the lil one will hop around for food. When startled, they'll chirp in unison and fly off. REALLY CUTE bird ! Think its one of the largest hopping bird ?

cheers
