If the bird is in flight (sky...) I use the 19 points and +1EV to +1.5EV if the bird is dark. Against a more busy background I use the Zone AF.

Yes, very important to use some exposure compensation! It takes a while to develop a feel for the light conditions, but it makes a lot of difference if done properly.
