Paul, I have been using the Tamron 150-600mm lens with the Canon T3i (600D) and the Canon T7i (800D) cameras for many years.  If $2500 is his budget I would suggest the Canon 90D and either the Tamron 150-600mm or Sigma 150-600mm lenses.  I haven't read the reviews lately about those lenses or know what's best between them.

This is what I get with the Canon T7i (800D) and the Tamron 150-600mm G1 lens.  I have hundreds of these wood duck pictures.  I just picked one at random quickly.  I can use up to ISO5000 easily.  This was taken under cloudy skies in the shadows of some trees.
