I've since learned that a view of the belly is important when differentiating between the Black Currawong and the Tasmanian subspecies of the Pied Currawong. The tree is arguably more natural than the rock too.
Keep the tail is out of focus in the proposed replacement.

If one stops down (further, already at f/5.6), then the background becomes distracting and the shutter speed begins to reduce the probability of a sharp shot.
