Nikon D750 anf SB910 to gently fill shadows and pop the colours a bit.Inspiration
Always lovt to see images of wild birds particaularly Birds of prey. The only place I can go is localEditing
A little post processing to remove some clutter. I always shoot RAW so had the normal sharpening and white balance and sharpened a little more in LAB modeIn my camera bag

Always use fill flash where you are allowed without frightening the birds, catchlights are important and also pops colours. Support local sanctuaries etc. Watch for background clutter. Respect the birds and their handlers.
