"Many photographers are very proud of their wide aperture lens without thought as to its use. An f3.5 lens of 300mm is certainly an expensive job, but this focal length working at maximum aperture gives such a tiny depth of field, particularly when working at short range, that it is to be discouraged in most circumstances. There are altogether too many photographs that have a narrow band of focus separating unsightly blurs at the top and bottom of the picture. ..."

That's one man's opinion. There are others that would disagree, but that's fair enough as well.

Yes, it is opinion based to his experience.

That's ISO's I can't use, I don't like going over ISO 400 for birds.

You can't or you don't like?

As for me, in my experience I can go to ISO 3200 without any problems with birds as I get feather and all visible well enough without such loss compared to FF.
