you need to pop some fill flash on the bird, set up a cheap nu560 flash on optical trigger 10 ft from the camera set at 1/4 which will freeze the bird at 1/2000 aprox sec, expose for the surrounds with A dont worry about shutter speed.
This is how I would have done it in the film days. I basically have the type of equipment you mention so I will try it that way too.
Thanks.

I use this method when freezing dances in the studio set the shutter to anything from 1/30 to 1/60 f8 and adjust the flash the best part with the yn flashes you can shoot at 5 frames per sec on 1/4 flash strength and get 4 frames. then wait 2 sec for it to recharge, perfect for birds.

We're Noct messing around with this review.
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom impress in a lot of ways, but their noise reduction lags the competition and their lens corrections lack a real-world basis. DxO PureRAW 3 aims to come to their rescue without totally reinventing your workflow!
The Sony ZV-E1 is the company's latest vlogging-focused camera: a full-frame mirrorless camera based the FX3/a7S III sensor, aimed at YouTubers and 'creators' looking to go pro.
