The minimum focus distance of the 25mm f/1.7 is 9.84 inches. The minimum focus distance of the 42.5 f/1.7 is 12 inches. That would probably give you a closer shot than the 25 could at 10". If you're saying you want to take photos 10" away from your birds, but you can't back up two more inches, then, dang, you have a pretty confined space there!

Minimum focus distance of Olympus 25mm f/1.8 is 9.4".   These minimum focus distances are listed under the "Specs" section on B&H Photo's web site.
