    Short answer: TO heck with the BG, the shot is good!

    Longer answer: Set your exposure for the BG and the bird will be tons darker, unless you can flash the bird!

    If you could leave the exif data in your image or add it to your post it would help with suggestions.

    I normally shoot in aperture mode and spot meter on the bird, that's where you want the detail, etc, to be....

    As it is, that is a very nice capture that could use a little editing :)

    This is a very quick and dirty edit...
