The P1000 Bird setting is basically multi burst shot (7) while retaining auto. It presets at 800mm but you can change that in or out at will with the Zoom button.
I don't have either one (yet). The assorted specs show the P950 had a scene mode specifically named 'Birdwatching'. None of the web resources I've looked at say the P1000 has a corresponding mode. I'm trying to determine
a) if there is a 'Birdwatching' scene mode on the P1000,
b) if there isn't, what settings the P950 uses in that mode so they could possibly be replicated on the P1000, and
c) whether I'm man enough to tote that bazooka around for three to five hours.

Page 31 of the 1000 manual...just a brief mention of bird mode. as said before, it is auto but with burst and a preset zoom if you want to change it from the default 800mm I rarely use it, I select S (shutter) and adjust the speed for anything moving about a bit, but with everything else on auto including burst (up to 7 shots)
While I am here, you can adjust the EVF brightness quite considerably,and it is very bright
