Yes you could and I have used manual focus on the 1D4 at 1000mm because AF had trouble with the specific circumstance....low light, small bird standing in rushing water. Probably for anyone who concentrates on birds more focal length is better, I do not own a 1DX (yet) but I think using the new 600 or the 800 would be the way to go for birds.
