OK, this makes a bit more sense.

After looking a little closer at the pic, I think you missed with the focus. To me it looks like the focus ended up on the rust-colored leaves to the left of the bird.

That said, I think that with a little post processing that pic could happily do a smallish print, maybe up to 8x10.
