Shot taking during lunch. Just wish the background was not so distracting.

Great shot!
I really don't think the background is that distracting either. The bird is focused so well and so close that you don't really even see the background- or it doesn't jump out at you rather. You could try adjusting the curves to the bird stands out more and the background is darker.

Hi. IMO the background is okay as is, but I do see your point about it being distracting. My suggestion would be to tone down the brightness of the background to make the white bird pop out more. I'm not great with photoshop, so there may be a better way to do it, but I would select the bird and either burn the background or decrease the contrast of the background.

A Gaussian blur maybe?

IMO...I think the background is fine..not much you can do about a bird shot! You can't tell a bird to fly over here or there...lol...great shot!
