9. Art critic here. Mediocre result. You are capable of more.

Perspective is troubling; the bird is precariously perched on a plant that would not sustain its weight, and its feet and talons are considerably askew.

The palette is exceedingly monotonous, indeed beige, and begs for some contrasting hue to offer some potential interest to the eye.

Alas, the subject matter is all too well-worn and disinteresting. Short of some genius to elevate this work, if sold as sidewalk art it may bring $15 if properly framed.
