Yes, it's an improvement in the right direction!

Here's my suggestion on how I would improve your sprite:

First, no pillowshading. Simple one colour shading, if any.
Second, the wing is making the sprite's readability difficult, so we'll have to rethink it later. For now, it'll have to go.
Third, I inspired myself from various Hal artworks for the feathers, colour, beak and eye.
Fourth, I looked at bird references for the wings and feet.
Fifth, I modeled the design after toucans and with Hal's Rio appearance in mind.

I hope it helps
