Removing green blur from nature photo

Hi, Ellie Cat.  I took Ofnuts suggestion to use the channel mixer on the tail feathers.  That allowed me to get them to a point where I could use the color picker tool to sample some of the coloration of gray(American spelling) on the breast feathers and apply it with the airbrush tool, set to a very low color and hardness, followed by a sharpening of the tail feathers.

For the wing, you can easily select a non-greenish area and use the clone tool to drag down over the green tints at the bottom.

To remove the green blotches from the water, and the reeds the bird is standing on, the clone tool was also used at varying sizes and levels.  I could have done a much more realistic job on the reeds, as they look sort of uniform now, but it kind of got away from me and I didn't feel like going back to make it look more varied.

Total time spent = 5 minutes.  Hope it will give you some ideas.
