Digital painting of a bird

Hello everyone, how are you all today? i hope everyone is having a great day. today i made a new digital painting.
this time i painted a bird.
i really just started it with a sketch for practicing weird forms since birds have weird forms, i wasn't planning on finishing it.
but then i started using this new brush and i thought drawing feathers with this would be so much easy.
so i gave it a shot and wa la...
let me know your thoughts on this drawing...

here are some process shots:
