Bali Sunshine Tours

Brief from client
Cahaya Matahari Bali or Bali Sunshine is a tour company in Bali, Indonesia.
I'm the company owner's son. I didn't go to design school. I'm not a designer; learning design stuffs simply from "Googling".
I know that a good logo is simple and memorable and different than others.
In Bali, most tour companies have temples / sea / waves as part of their "logo".. most are awful and boring looking..
I tried to avoid having them in my logo, so I use the national bird of Bali instead.
Bali Mynah is a beatiful, mostly white bird, with bare skin around the eyes.
Any critiques are helpful and very appreciated. Please help tell me on how to make this better, or if should make a completely new one, I will try. Thank you.

I meant, "with blue bare skin around the eyes". Please excuse my bad English.
The design you have in the crest of the bird really looks like waves to me, I thought I should mention that.
I just googled Bali Mynah to see it for myself. The crest is spiky, which I think you should go with to make it more recognizable and less wavy.
Ditch that yellow. It does nothing for you here. I think you would be better suited by just showing the crest as it really looks.
I'm not sold on the Typography either. It is just sitting there. It doesn't feel connected at all, and the strange serifs on it make it hard to read.
A valiant first effort though! Keep at it.
I agree with Waffles about a crest part of the bird after enjoying awesome photographs on web about , indeed , a rare bird from your country. Yes, make it more recognizable and let go that yellow. A bird is mostly white with a beautiful scarlet blue area around eye and some black in the feathers. You, also, need to outline either a neck or the whole bird to pop out more. Landscape, tree branches or a local ornament or even national flag's colors might do that , as well. And I'm together with Waffles on a font, too. Pick up some cool, exotic font to do justice for your travel concept idea. Good luck and thank you for sharing an information on a very interesting bird - I enjoyed looking at pictures!
