I took about 20 shots of this pair and could not get them both in focus at the same time. At times I got neither in focus. What am I doing wrong or is it me? Settings as follows: f/5.6 1/200 iso 400
not sure but the birds are more than slightly overexposed and neither are in focus

You aren't doing anything wrong; you just need to have a better understanding of depth of field and what aperture to use.
A very vague general guideline is this (From Bryan Peterson)
f/5.6 and lower = good for isolating your subject from it's environment.
f/8-f/11 = use when you don't care.
f/16 and higher = use to get things in focus from front to back...to tell a story with multiple elements in the image...close, middle, and background.

This explanation is really helpful to understand me to choose f-stops.
