The sheer number of shots that this guy has rattled off does sound a bit over the top. That said I always have my 350D set to burst shooting, normally only shot 3-5 shots in a go though. With active birds you can get the composition and light right, but you're still dependant on the bird looking the right way at the right time, a short burst gives a fair chance of getting the shot.
I'm quite happy to trawl through photos in the evening, I actually enjoy doing so. An average day taking shots of birds I usually end up with about 2-300 shots to go through.
