I've done a mod to show what you can try from your original file-out-of-camera. The result I got is not so good; working with the small upload file. If you have Photoshop you should be able to do much better.
You got a nice shot here, even if a bit of a long distance one, and I think your original file should tolerate a similar crop to mine. The shadow on the neck is one of those unfortunate things you either live with or remedy with a bit of cloning. Use 15% opacity sourced from the bird's grey flank area. I wouldn't worry about the shadow on the bird's darker parts. Increase contrast a bit at this stage. If you can follow what I've done in your soft-ware, then resize for epz size, and then (and only when you've got your size) sharpen the image.
Hope this helps a bit, and keep getting more captures like this. It's basically a good shot!

Unless you want to print it and it becomes too small to print, I don't see why you can't crop it? Or is this a wildlife thing? I can see cloning could be 'cheating'. I think going a bit tighter on the bird it good, especially if you can get rid of the dark bit of branch. Not keen on fancy frames, myself, but other like them.
Your latest mod is excellent, it's turned a good shot into an excellent shot. I like it.
