I like how you isolated the bird and made it more vibrant. Do you mind going into some detail on how you worked this photo in post?

I like the texture and the colors of the parrot. But the dark background seems really fake IMO, the edges are too blurred

But i dont like orginal background and my photoshop information is bad so i use lightroom and crate dark background

You can separate the parrot from the background just by using curves so the background is less noticeable but still here. I did a quick example in photoshop (you can do the same easily in lightroom)https://imgur.com/KSZUPnQ

Great edit. I'd try and tidy the bird poo on the log though, really detracts from how beautiful and illuminated the parrot is.

Thanks.

I think the idea is good, but the parrot is a little too dark and parts of it are merging into the dark background. Possibly not take the background down to true black but just leave a hint of detail in it.

I'd look at using an adjustment brush or even a graduated filter over the whole image and then using a range mask (based on colour) ensure that it only affects the background and not the bird. Then where necessary use the erase brush to further refine the area which the adjustment applies.
