CANON RF 35MM F/1.8 IS STM MACRO
Very Cheap. 35mm is for crop camera.

On full frame 60mm is maximum. Distance is so you can hold the birds yourself.

Canon RF 35mm /1,8 IS STM Macro. Picture is from Christiansø Bird Observatory . Denmark. 3 of June. 2021. Emberiza melanocephala

I've used the canon 50 mm macro for a long time.
Cheers
