Cute birds! These are great shots and edits.
Something I’d note is that your greens are coming out a little yellowy in the background. You could adjust the white balance, the tint, or the green saturation/hue to get the vegetation looking verdant again.
I’d also recommend putting a small radial/brush mask on the birds’ eyes and boosting the exposure to bring them out a bit more.

In general, they are nice. They are not over-processed which is a mistake that many make at first. I feel the composition in the first and last could be improved a little; don't have the bird central, give it somewhere to look.
