When shooting birds, always prioritize their safety and comfort and observe them from a distance that won't spook or disturb them.
As for settings, try shooting in manual mode to have full control over your exposures and use a fast shutter speed to capture birds in motion. consider using a tripod or monopod to stabilize your camera and prevent blur caused by shaky hands.
