 It's hard to take bird photos this time of year when it's so cold. These are House Finches at the bird feeder in my back yard.

Editing: Crop, levels, hue/sat, a big of dodge and burn on the back birds, resize, sharpen, sharpen tool on eyes, save for web.

That's a lot of birds, you've got a busy feeder. Very good detail in the finches, good job.

A little soft, probably due to cropping or something like that. colors contrast and exposure all look good. I'm not big on "feeder" bird pics. I would prefer you had taken a log or something and baited them to that for a more natural affect.
