Great stuff. Numbers 2 & 3 work the best compositionally for me. The first could probably afford a bit of a crop on the left hand side. The last one, with the subject facing away and the blurred wing coming towards us, is not as strong an angle on the subject as the others, but I enjoyed looking at all of them.

Very nice. I particularly like the first two for their colours and compositions. As Tim suggests, I think you could crop #1 on the left (just to the left of the OOF orange flower may be the obvious place), but I rather like it with the two OOF coloured areas at the top left, and I'd be inclined to take just a sliver off to the left of the fainter, red area, or leave it as it is.
