Exactly.

Put it to one side and let it mature. You will know when it is ready to be worked on again.

There are as many ways to paint as there are artists and you have the foundations for a very personal style. You know your birds and that comes across strongly. With regards to the environments that the birds inhabit my advice would be to always return to the source; the real living world. Set your powers of observation in motion. Most environments that birds inhabit are a kind of ordered chaos. There are patterns and shapes that repeat but only within a framework of randomness if that makes sense. Leaves are virtually the same shape but the angle, the light, and the life of each individual leaf marks it as different from its neighbour. Next time you go out and there are no birds to look at, spend some time having a really close look at the trees and vegetation that the birds inhabit and, when you next tackle a supporting background for one of your birds, that knowledge gained through observation will manifest itself in the way you represent them on the paper leading to a much more satisfying result.

Having said all that, if you are happy with what you do, then that should be the most important thing!

Really like the crows Gaby. And it looks like you're getting more comfortable with paint and brush. The Harpies look very good, though I think maybe the purple background is a bit strong for me personally. The main thing though I think is that both crows and harpy look like they just flowed out of your brush, as natural as can be.
