For SLR.....I suggest the best mode to shoot most photography, (including birds!) is in Aperture priority,(Unless you are a purist and want to go full manual.) Particularly good for action telephoto shooting (ie birds) as you can always get maximum light into the camera and thus the fastest shutterspeed. The other way as per sugested before is vibration reduction lenses (super expensive) or very fast lenses (again gonna cost you lots of cash cash) like an f2.8 300mm or f4 600mm or 500mm. Mirror lenses are a lot lighter and shorter than telephoto so easier to hang on to but they are usually fixed aperture f8 and manual focus so you need nice sunlight and a deft focusing hand.

For cheaper lenses check ebay, You can get expensive lenes at up to half price secondhand if you look around.
