These are lovely looking birds I think.

The reason the picture doesn't show in your thumbnail, Ellie, is due to the size of your image at over 4000 px. In order to correct this, it's quite easy. Just save a smaller size of image to somewhere easy to find such as your desktop (most people upload somewhere between 1000-2000 px on the longest side).

When you have done that, open the Gallery picture and, on the RHS above any comments from members, is a 3 dot menu. Click on that and select Change Thumbnail. A new screen opens, take the second option (Use Custom Thumbnail). Look for your image and double-click on it. You should see the name of the new file appear on the screen.

Don't forget to Save.

If you need any more help, please don't be afraid to ask
