I may be relaxed but I'm not drunk....
This is the crop I'd have done if it was my pic - ideally, if you get another chance, a photo of the bird interacting with the apple would be ideal!
I guess editing out, or toning down the colour, of the apple would be a sensible move, as it does draw the eye away from the bird somewhat.

Those two are what I was thinking of, great!
I guess it's largely personal preference, but I tend to go for 6x4 or 4x6 (didn't do that for "my" crop above, but I'm sure it's close to that); I'd also try to crop out the small twig at the bottom of the rh image.

The one with the bird looking at the fruit is by far the most interesting, although the focus does affect it!
With a placed fruit like that, which is clearly not part of the natural scenery, I guess you need to either have it completely out of the frame or completely part of the photo.
Otherwise the viewer sees the pic and instead of focussing on the bird, instead asks what the apple is doing there.
