From my limited experience at shooting birds/planes, I found that either taking a reading from the grass and using manual, or spot metering on the bird. As the majority of the area is bright sky your camera is going to try to achieve a mid tone so will underexpose to do this. If you spot meter then it will take a reading from the subject. If your bird is black or white then you may still need to use exp comp if using tv/av
