I'm not sure why you need to sharpen the birds' head and body separately. In your image above, all of the bird seems to be within the DOF according to the sharpness of the leaves on the ground.
On the right is a photo I took standing about 7-10m from the bird and all of the bird is within the DOF (f/6.3, 552mm on APS-C sensor). I denoised and sharpened using the standalone Topaz Denoise AI.
With the same focal length and aperture the DOF would be even larger if I stood more than 10m from a subject.
