Bird watercolor

I'm very new to watercolor...This painting was kind of a practice (reference was a photo). Many things didn't turn out the way I would like, for instance the lighting and background, and...flowers, ugh. But still, I like it nevertheless~(what can I say...I love small birds, YAY!)

Thoughts: 1. Flowers are hella difficult to paint. 2. Watercolor is a fairly unpredictable medium XDD need more practice...
