Hi CactEYE and a warm welcome to you from all the Staff and Moderators. I've moved your post to the Cameras forum as they're better placed to be able to advise you. With such a low budget, I feel you may be better to look second hand, there are some very food deals for them. But let's see what they say in here, as I don't know anything about that camera.
I'm sure you will enjoy it here and I look forward to hearing your news.

For bird, it is best to have at least 900mm focal length reach. I've checked, Kodak PixPro AZ528 max FL is at 1248mm (35mm equiv). It should give you enough reach. Also you may want have a look at Nikon, Canon and Sony bridge camera for additional comparison.

Is it possible you could save up another 150 quid or so?
The Panasonic FZ300/330 is generally deemed to be the best budget level entry camera but a used version would be more than 200 dollars.
Also, I know people who buy their cameras from a Hong Kong company. Apparently they turn up within 5 days and have a three year warranty, and they're much cheaper. 'Not something I've done, but may be worth a look to get a bit more for your money.
