This is really cute and wonderfully drawn. The colors are bright, strong and work together perfectly.
I also like the shading technique you use, it works extremely well with your style and this sort of picture.

The anatomy of the birds is also correct, so there isn't much I can say to that, but one thing that would have been nice is if their beaks weren't the same color as their feathers, just to make it stand out a little more.

I would actually also suggest adding just a hint of a background, instead of leaving it purely white. Maybe a very gentle touch of red to help the birds pop out more, but that's a personal opinion, what matters is what you like more.
