I had considered BIF. Again, figure out the fastest their wings can flap, set shutter to that as your minimum. Build your other settings around a fixed minimum shutter. Done. I don’t shoot BIF but I would start at 1/2500 shutter and see what happens. Adjust as needed.
If you’re proposing a setting that changes aperture and/or ISO to accommodate shutter based on metered readings, in order to generate relatively consistent exposures in shifting lighting conditions, well… I’ve got news for you…
It's a strategy that guarantees the lowest image quality possible for all but the peak moments of movement of the subject. And yes, ISO/gain would float based on the camera's calculated shutter speed. These are all light-limited scenarios - in situations where you're not light-limited then shutter speed would not be constrained.
