Canon SX40 or SX50 - Best quality images ??

I want to know how the image quality compares between the SX40 and the SX50 .. Thank you.

I photograph wildlife and birds .. I am not so much concerned about the ability to track and capture as the ability to capture with the best image quality .. I do not need the extra zoom of the SX50 as I live in the woods and cannot see very far because of the trees.
I want to know if the SX40 is better at capturing birds say taking off and landing due to having a significantly faster shutter speed by 40%.
I want to know if one them is better at capturing say two birds together like one behind the other because it has more depth of field in say sport or bust mode.
I am confused the by stats that say the aperture is wider on the SX40 as some reviewers have said that they both the same at 35X zoom.
