I like the angry look on #2. He is thinking "if I were still a dinosaur, you would be lunch..."
{edit} Well done by the way!

Hi Janika, how nice to see you again, these bird photographs are great and amazing. Well captured, I loved them all but the second one much more! You captured this looking very well, as if will come up from my screen
 Super set. Thank you, Blessing and Happiness, with my love, nia “There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs.” Ansel Adams

These are very sweet John...
I also admire #2 because more often than not when I take this kind of pictures my peak is not in focus... you did really great here. All of them nicely exposed as it was already mentioned ... A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art. Paul Cezanne

Thanks for the comments, I use spot metering and center focus point only and always try focusing on their eyes.
