Welcome to the forum Steve, looking at the first image of your series, the feather structure is amazing, what bird is the subject, I am not an ornithologist... The tufts of feathers or eyelashes below the eye are amazing. The interlocking of the filaments of the throat feathers and the texture is wonderful. I have never noticed such detail before, although presumably such structure exists with many species?

Thank you for taking the time to post a 100% crop.

I imagine with birds this is close to impossible but have you considered very basic focus stacking? but it might be advantageous for the perch or some aspect of the image which might benefit from a greater DoF? Playing with the DoF can sometimes bring an added dimension to an image and with the narrow DoF of the 500, it might be worth considering... Turn it to your advantage.
