What's the minimum focus distance on the Tokina? That's where some of
the less expensive primes and zooms fall short. The A400/5.6 focuses at
2.8 metres. You'll need close focus ability for birds.

I'd recommend the Tokina 400/5.6.
It's relatively inexpensive, fast enough
for general use, and decent quality.
Very good quality, truth be to tell. One just went on eBay for less
than US$40.00
