The coot in the bottom right corner is adorable! The middle theropod looks like it's strutting just a little faster than walking, the legs and the tail go together nicely. I think some of the theropods have too little torso. On the one near the top that is carefully edging it's way (or peering?) down a slope, the knee closest to the viewer suggests too long a femur. In both theropods and birds the tibia/fibula section is often a bit longer than the femur. Remember also where it would connect to the pelvis.
I can't see anything else to give feedback on, couldn't do any better myself. Good practice!
Edit: Actually something else I wanted to say is that you manage to make them very expressive. I've often found that it's not easy to give animals that have quite static faces like birds and dinosaurs expression (except maybe parrots).

Just a sec, checking to see what all the big words mean.
Ok, got them. Thanks.
Are this the "English" names for the bones in the leg?
Just wondering. We Slovenians have way better ones.

I suppose so. Had to look them up because I'm not very good at describing which bones I meant, so just figured it was easier to google it. What words do you use?

This is a rough translation to english:
shanker, underkneeer, calfer
named by the parts of the leg, just as most of the other bones.

Since you have so kindly asked for feedback, here:
Those are some nice and dynamic poses and there is plenty of variety, but with some of them, I feel like their center of balance is a bit off and they might topple over. Either because they lack the 4th back toe or because their bodies are more back heavy than front heavy, and their legs would have issues keeping them up. I am no bird expert, but I can tell when a thing would have a hard time standing
I know birds are pretty capable in standing on their spindly legs, but it might seem 'off' in some cases, as you mentioned, so this might be the thing that bothered you.
