Here is another of the warbler, a little less cropped, and still de-saturated slightly - and also with the branch removed using content aware and clone stamp. The branch ran right to the back behind him and his tail; so it did not cut off the face or much of the warbler but bothered me in the original.

Second looks better. You can see some artifacts from the branch removal in the first. Good job cleaning up the branch in the second. For object removal I will first use the object removal tool. Then I will use layer masks and clone stamp or paint the edges where the remove tool didn't do such a great job with like colors using the eyedrop tool, such as the tip of the tail in your first example. I'll then use a black brush with 100% opacity and a hard tip on the layer mask to bring back any part of the bird I painted over. The only thing I don't like in the second photo is the stuff below and above his beak, and below his throat. It makes the beak appear as it's blending in to the branch.
