I have a pair of Nikon binoculars I keep in the car for "just in case".
I would have bought Pentax, but at the time I was in the market, no one
around here stocked Pentax.
The binoculars I've looked at, I thought the Pentax binoculars were
better quality than the equivalent Nikon binoculars.

Stan, I am very happy with my Pentax 8x42 DCF HR II binoculars. Phase
coated, nitrogen filled, water proof, and astoundingly bright! I
liked them so much, I bought a 2nd pair so we both have them. You
won't be happy with Bushnel and I don't know about Nikon or Canon.
See the write-ups at Willowby's in NYC. Regards, Bob and Lynn

Meg and I will probably be buying at least one pair of binoculars
for birding. Something in the $250-500 range - i.e., quite a bit
better than the $40-50 compact everyday binocs we have now, but
not anything in the $1000+ "serious birder" category.
My inclination to brand loyalty tells me to buy Pentax, all other
things equal. But the few reviews I have found (e.g., in
Cornell's birding magazine) put Pentax toward the bottom of the
list. And I don't want to buy a clearly inferior product just for
the Pentax name.
