Mark7829 suggested for some tighter shots. So here are three uncropped close ups for your consideration.

Three winners! More power to the closeups...

I think these are nice intimate images. Yes you can see detail. And yes, you do not have to shoot the entire bird/animal. Cropping is effective and accepted. That being said. Image II is quite centered. His/her eye would be most appropriate if it was in the intersection of the upper right quadrant. That remains true for image III. On III, I would have also shot more wide open to further blur the background as found in image II.
Good examples ... thank you for posting.

Impressive set - that last one is amazing - never seen one of those before.

Mark, thanks again for looking closely and commenting. Not to be defensive, but in response to your comment on image II; moving the eye to where you suggest would have the beak tip out of the frame or I would have to back off - and this is not cropped. Besides that, I like the eye dead centre on this one - courses for horses. Similarly, with III moving the eye would require cutting off part of the pouch or the greenish feathers on the back. Of course I could have shot them with the eye in the locations you suggest, and I did. But they are different pictures which you may see later.
Cheers, Don
