I have used flash with birding for about 15 years now, it goes virtually in noticed, and gives you very good definition because it can really freeze motion.
As for lenses, you will find this is a slippery slope, you can never get a long enough lens.
Right now, I am playing with a Q, since it has a 5.5:1 crop factor it makes my K135 like a 750mmF2.5 lens
, but I think the Q can actually our resolve the lens.
