Peter and Alan are on track here.
There are no blown/clipped pixels in your raw file. If you are reproducing the image in a small color space like sRGB though, it will take some work to compress the wide dynamic range into the small color space. There are a whole range of techniques to do this at both the global and local levels.
One thing to keep an eye on in this situation, however, is how your post-processing software of choice impacts hue when bringing colors into small color gamuts. Different software can "twist" the hues differently in these conditions.
At least in this thread so far no one has said that "reds tend to clip", which is largely a myth propagated in the past by people who don't understand color profiles.
Here is another thread on this topic from some time back that you might find interesting, also involving a bird with saturated color:

Also, here is my shot on you image. This was with ACR and PS CS6. There is a lot of aesthetic judgement involved with things like color temperature, contrast, and sharpening so I am in no way saying this is the best that can be achieved. My main point is that there IS detail in the red area without question and it is possible to show that detail even in sRGB. With a wide-gamut monitor or high-quality inkjet printer, it would reproduce even better and easier.
