I like #4. I think it shows a nice contrast between "smooth" of the hand and "craggy" of the claws. I agree that the yellow feathers are a bit distracting, so maybe try this.....Instead of B/W, try a Sepia finish. You would actually keep some of the skin tone from the hand, it would mute out the colors of the feathers. I would also see about cropping it a bit more like #1, with more of a panoramic crop taking out some of the top of the photo. Maybe a bit of a vignette?
#1 and #2 say craggy, but really doesn't "tug" at me to like the image much. #3 and #4 in their own small ways show at least a connection/relationship between the hand and the bird, makes it a bit more interesting to me, and out of those two I like #4 better.
Just my $0.02 for what it's worth.

#1. Definitely.
Those feet (talons) are sooo familiar. I own a lesser, sulphur crested cockatoo.
The feet belong to my 12 year old Black Headed Caique. When I was getting a parrot, I deliberated a loooong time between a Goffin's cockatoo or a Moluccan. Then I encountered a Caique and was smitten.

Parrots have a way of doing that to you.

I tried a B/W conversion, but... frankly I just don't get black and white... why would one want to strip out amazing color for plain 'ol black and white? Can you tell I'm a color junkie?
Actually, I'm trying to understand the beauty of the color gray and its varied shades, but I'm thick headed.
So, anyway, I'm going with #1.
