The thing about birds (where I got my start) is, as Aurthur Morris says - Head Angle.
Nobody (well, hardly anybody) wants to see butt-shots of birds.

The light is nice on this frame and it would have been great if the light was coming more from behind you rather than to the side. The color is nice and the frozen water droplets are interesting.

I didn't wish to take butt shots of those ducks but they were always showing it to me as I tried to come closer ), so I got tired and ran towards them and tried to capture what I could . the (intended) main subject in this one is the duck on the middle left that is in a bit of a more 'non butt' position

Ah, well intentionally scaring the wildlife by running at them is pretty bad nature photography ethics.
