Why isn’t AF picking up these birds?

Re: Auto mode

If it was windy and the feeder (and bird) were moving around, then you probably needed at least 1/1000th to freeze the bird (assuming it was correctly focused on the bird's head).

You could achieve the same exposure by using f8, 1/1000th and ISO 800.
