You want to catch a bird and have a sharp photo you need speed and reach. So think 400+mm lens with a large aperture. like F4 or larger. Shutter speed needs to be fast to capture the fast moving little guys so ISO needs to be quite high as well.

Yes, lots of DSLR's out there in the $500-$1000 range that would do the trick. Something like a Canon 1DX.

A sample shot with a 1DX MkIV and 100-400L lens.
