A geometric proof of Picard's little theorem

I'm preparing a presentation where I'd like to present a proof of Picard's little theorem using hyperbolic geometry. Picard's little theorem states that the range of an entire function can omit at most $1$ point.
I can see that we can write $U:=mathbb{C}P^1setminus{infty,0,1}$ as a hyperbolic manifold, and as a quotient of $mathbb{D}$ through the Farey tesselation. I would like to say therefore that any conformal map $:mathbb{C}rightarrow U$ would factor conformally through $mathbb{D}$.
I can see that it should factor through the covering map, but can I even say that the covering map is conformal?
I know that Ahlfors' Lemma helps, but all the statements I've obtained of said lemma hold for Hermite metrics. Can I say that the hyperbolic metric on $mathbb{C}P^1setminus{infty,0,1}$ is Hermite?

Of course to both. Hermitian metrics are the analog on complex manifolds of Riemannian metrics on real manifolds; any metric $f(z)|dz|^2$ on a $1$-dimensional complex manifold (for $f>0$) is a hermitian metric. And covering maps are local biholomorphisms, hence conformal, yes.

Yes. Thanks a lot. +1 for pointing out that 'Hermitian metrics are the analog on complex manifolds of Riemannian metrics on real manifolds'.
