If you have correctly focused on the subject, then the out of focus picture is probably due to camera shake.
This shake comes naturally with a lot of people. To get good sharp pictures, when the button is depressed, make sure all other parts of the body ' freeze ' temporarily. Holding your breath helps.
If you find it difficult, a tripod will be invaluable, particularly at extreme zoom of 300mm and above.
The other point is if you cannot see enough of the bird to focus, set the aperture to the smallest and focus on the nearest object, the leaf or the branch, lock the focus and slowly swing the camera back to the position of the bird, and wait for the right moment to release the shutter.
Practice makes perfect. After some time, you will be OK.
