Configure the camera to shoot when motion is detected, then
aim it at the nest or feeder and wait for the birds to make their
appearance.
Focus on a point near a hollow in the tree that the birds prefer.

The [Subject detection] trigger is not used, as there is no way of knowing which way the birds
willbe facing.
If you find that shooting is triggered by branches or leaves moving in the wind, adjust [Slowest] or
[Smallest], or choose [Auto-area AF] for AF-area mode and use [Target area] to disable all target
areas except those in the vicinity of the feeder or nest.
