I would focus on the eyes as a permanent rule. If you need to focus and recompose there should be a focus lock on the 300D..
For metering, I always use manual everything - set your WB to overcast (as it looks?) and toy from there.
Use a spot meter on the birds forehead and shoot - view - adjust - shoot - view adjust again if needed. Generally you Will have the correct exposure after a couple of attempts and you will also gain more insight into what is best for what situation quicker.
For aperture i would use something larger, say f2.8 to further blur the background and bring out the bird more.
Hope that helps ;)
