Have you tried using spot metering? Also, when you are shooting birds against the sky you will usually have to increase exposure by a stop or two. Canon 7D, 450D, various lenses, a bottle of Muskol

canonloader Cream of the Crop  More info | May 12, 2007 20:50 | #6 Shoot in RAW, it will save a lot of these types of shots. But, you could open the jpg and use Shadow/highlites on it. Then use the blur tool set at about 8% and make the brush big, swipe over the whole image a couple times to blur the noise, then hit it with some Unsharp Mask at about 50.0, 0.3, 0.0, maybe do it twice if it needs it.
