This actually wasn't my original idea for the entry. I removed the real bird from the cage to put the miniature bird in and the real bird decided he wanted to be a part of the whole thing. I thought it was funny and more interesting than my first idea.

Excellent idea, reasonable composition, but the lighting is harsh and nasty. Try using natural light next time, or perhaps a lamp/flashlight and a tripod.
I agree about the light. It was a lucky shot. My macaw doesn't stay still for long. I tried to duplicate the shot in different lighting but couldn't. I still felt it was worth entering because of the humor factor. I feel pretty good about how it scored. I think most everyone appreciated the humor in it.

Might've been nice to backlight it against a window and create sillouettes?
Composition is alright, although I'd rather it was slightly further away from the birds myself.
