This camera is very good and easy to use! But if you're looking for a camera to take photos of birds and more, you need the best close-up lens. You can find lenses for this in different price ranges. (I'm not an expert, just a happy amateur) But I'm very happy with the kit and use the camera almost every day! There are good videos online for "expert advice etc."
