For your particular image its quite simple. Just open the image in photoshop then go to Image> Adjusments> Hue/Saturation (or just press Ctrl+U for Windows version) Once you have the dialog box open play with the Hue and Saturation bars until you get the color you want.

Select the Bird with any of the selection methods you feel comfortable with. Then go to Image>Adjustments>Replace Color. Use the defualt dropper to select the color, if it doesn't select all the tones then use the Dropper with the plus sign to select the rest. Once the bird shows up highlighted in the box use the sliders below to get the color you want.
