Crit on a kiwi bird I scratched for White Wolf. One of my first scratches. Thanks.
That's really nice for your first scratch. :D However, like Adnan pointed out, the anatomy's kinda borked in places (particularly the legs and feet), the beak's squashed up, and the head's a little shaky.
I believe advance sprites can be up to 64x64, so just add a little more width to the canvas to give yourself more beak-room. For the legs, you should maybe look at actual kiwi/bird pictures. I'm not an expert by any means, but it should be vaguely like this.
The shading... well, it looks too flat. Here's a quick (and probably badly-made) example.
The Charmander on the left's pretty much what you did, while the Charmander on the right is how I'd fix it. Basically, don't just shade around the edges, and make it curve around the body.
Also like Adnan said, try to make it more Pokémony. Kiwis look like they have spiky feathers and a spiky beak, so maybe you could transform that into actual spikes, and maybe make it a steel type? Heck, you could even combine it with a Kiwi fruit, even if it's just a pattern on it somewhere. Be creative!
I also love your Pokésona, Neo. :D yaaaay stereotypically British things.
