I'm completely new to photography (I don't even have a camera...yet). However I'm quite interested in photographing wildlife (specifically birds)
Can anyone point me in the direction of where to start and what kit to buy.
I appreciate this is quite an open ended question but I have absolutely no idea where to begin. I've tried to research but I honestly have no idea what is good info or not. I also find that it qui https://omegle.onl/ ckly gets very technical, leaving me a bit clueless.
Thanks in advance!

What size/weight kit are you willing to carry around ?
What is your budget ?

You will need at least a 400mm (FullFrame equivalent) tele-lens.
Being a total newbie to photography I would recommend a used bridge camera (1" sensor size with non interchangeable zoom lens built-in) to start with, then you can latter evolve to an interchangeable lens system where your main decisions will be:
1) sensor size (micro-four-thirds, APS-C, FullFrame)
2) lens mount sub-system/manufacturer/brand.
 
I've written a piece on bird photography for my Facebook group outlining an approach plus comments on gear.
