For Gun Sales and Taking "Animal Portrait" Photos, First Do a Background Check.
Don't compromise an otherwise good animal portrait photo by having a distracting, unaesthetic background. Spending time watching birds in places you're likely to photograph them, and, positioning your camera at key locations with backgrounds in mind, can go a long way towards getting that winning shot!
Shooting using wide apertures (f-stops with low numbers like 2.8. 4.0 even 5.6) will enable faster shutter speeds (helpful in avoiding or minimizing blur from either an unsteady hand or a jumpy bird) and softer, un-intrusive backgrounds.
