Camera is set to Subject Recognition in AF is... On
Recognition target is .. Bird
Pre capture is on
Back button focus
Firmware 4.0
Any help would be appreciated
Sorry if this has been answered already
Thanks for your time

Can you give a bit more info? Are you in tracking or non-tracking? What are you seeing for AF confirmation? Square? Dancing squares? No Confirmation? In AF settings do you have it restricted to head -eye? Or is Head - eye-body enabled?

... and perhaps more importantly: which bird? AI only sees what's been in the training set. If the birds you're shooting are rare, living in a small and isolated habitat and weren't considered for training, they are not birds as far as AI is concerned.

That's not how it works - AI will pick up anything that looks like a bird so the training doesn't have to include every species. I guess if it doesn't look like a bird you may have problems ... in which case try auto
