This has been an interesting read for me. I never tried bird photography until I got my 70-200mm RF 2.8. Obviously, the range is not enough but what I did do I found to be good fun and it got me looking for more reach with my next lens.

The RF 100-500mm is on the shortlist. However, given the cost, it's a few months away. I do like sharp images and fast AF. The Sigma is almost  £2000 cheaper in the UK. I could buy that lens now but I felt as though I might regret it if the eye AF was poor, slower focus, and less sharp!

Reading the thoughts people have shared on this thread I could be tempted to give the Sigma a try.
