How do I keep a color reflection getting on to the bird?

Adjust it in Photoshop or Lightroom. Consider using a polarizing filter

The reflection is natural. The camera just captured it. You can remove it but I don't think you need to.

Polarising filter.

Thank you,

I do have filters I don't know if they fit this camera if not I get one but before I do that I wait until I find a better bridge camera.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

I purchase one size filter (equal to the largest diameter of my lenses) and get filter adapter rings for all of my other lenses to that size (currently 77mm). I also purchase 77mm lens caps so that all of my lenses use the same size lens cap. This makes it much easier when changing lenses while shooting. I can remove the lens cap from the lens going on the camera and place it on the lens coming off. It has greatly simplified my lens/filter control. If I purchase a new lens, I just get the correct adapter for it for my filters. I did look at "prospective" lenses to see what size the largest filter I was probably going to need was and got adapters, filters and lens caps accordingly. This makes it so that I only have to purchase each once.

You can't, unless you photograph the bird away from a colored surface that reflects light. (A color filter will cause as many problems as it corrects.)

A polarizer will help cause in my opinion the shot is just SLIGHTLY overexposed

Did you see the color reflection on the birds side from the turquoise tray?

Thanks,

I looked at some already but they all have the features missing I like on the Lumix 2500. I like the build in filters which I forgot to use when I took the shot.

Before shooting?
My advice is to remove the tray or get a neutral colored one: white, gray or black.
Light from the turquoise tray is reflected back to whatever is nearby, much like the dual-sided white/gold reflectors used for shooting portraits.

After shooting?
Easily fixed in post processing software.
