Bird Photography help

[covboy]

Looking to try a bit of bird photography for the first time. I know NOTHING about bird behaviour however, and was looking to set up a garden “bird table” with the camera close by on a tripod & remotely fired.( have telephoto lenses but looking at the easy option to start with)
Questions – Would I need to camouflage the camera in any way and would the birds be put off by the shutter going off and not return?
