I have such mixed feelings on this piece. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy it, but the woman’s face is so lifelike and draws your eye so much that it takes focus away from the rest of the piece. The rest of the painting almost feels like an afterthought.
An aspect of art that’s worth considering is composition - how things exist in relation to each other.
The artist must choose how to place things to invite your eye to explore the painting.
For me it was the face, then the titty, then I started noticing the birds. At first thinking the lady was the “bird” to which the title refers.
And all the birds are doing pretty crazy things, but they’re only seen if you spend time exploring it. I’m not saying it’s bad or good, but something to consider.
