That is not a real bird, is it?
If not, have you considered using a tripod? Because if that is a stuffed bird, you have all the time to need to photo it.
On my monitor, your last photos is too bright, too contrast. The historgram shows a large part of both ends of the histogram are clipped, meaning you have the darkest shadow areas with pure black with no details, and large area of white with no details. The bird does not look in-focus, the colors too vibrant.
You said you were usng ISO 800 because the camera did not let you customize it. Is this your camera: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/olympuse420/page2.asp
I think it says it has manual exposure mode. Have you tried that?
Anyhow, overall, it appears to me, as presented, it is an out-of-focus and over-exposed photograph.
If it is not a real bird, I would suggest you use a tripod or put your camera on some support (other than yourself), take your time to focus, lower the ISO, adjust the power of your flash if you use one, or move whatever lights farther from the subject, and take the photograph.
