You are correct that I missed focus just a bit on the first parrot pic.  I hadn't paid close enough attention to that image. 

According to PhotoPills, depth of field for 400 mm at f/6.3 is about 9/16" (if 12' away) to 29/32" (if 15' away), but here it's probably closer to the 9/16" given the actual distance between the eye and the feathers.  I tend to rock back and forth just a little when I shoot and that's not good when the DOF is so shallow.
