I get that the bird should be in focus and not the cage, but the placement of the focus point (at a thirds intersection) combined with the fact that the bird is cut of suggests that the focus wasn't missed at all. It is hard for me to vote on these kind that meet the challenge but are composed "correctly".

This fits the challenge topic very well. I love the orange of the bird, but I am not sure I like the blue of the cage. I wonder what this would look like with Blue desaturated. I am not loving the angle, it appears a bit awkward, though I am sure you were trying to portray looking up. I also think the dark lower right corner distracts from the rest of the photo a bit. Other than that, great photo – and great fit to the challenge!
