I know several people that use the D500 and various lenses for wildlife photography every successfully. Maybe you're just short of experience and training with your camera?
As for the blur, try a higher ISO and faster shutter speed. Experiment until you find the combo that works best. Photography is a lifelong learning experience...

To all of you. thanks for helping. I meant B500. Too much flu meds, pushed the wrong key. Wow, "it's not the camera, it's the photographer". Done here. But thanks for those of you who helped. I greatly appreciate.
OK - in that case, you need a camera with more user control. I don't think the B500 allows the user to set camera to aperture priority, or shutter speed priority. The Nikon P900 (or the Canon SX60 HS) does and is much less expensive.
You need a camera that can be set for a fast shutter speed. If the B500 has a sports mode, that might help.

Where does he say "40X" zoom? He never uses an "X", it could really be a 40mm zoom, or just as easily meant a 400 zoom. We may never find out due to the poor typing and no proofreading of the original post by the OP.
I did make some assumptions. but then we all did. I guess the kicker for me was that someone suggested the D7200 as an upgrade which tilted me towards this being a lesser camera. Of course we know now it was a B500.

I don't think you mean a Nikon D500 which is Nikon's top crop sensor camera, so it would be rated above the D7200. The D7200 is an awesome camera and would serve you well for wildlife. Sigma and Tamron both make very good telephotos which are less expensive than Nikon's.
Perhaps they meant D5500?

Waaaay cheaper to buy a car and drive 1/4 mile closer to the targets. 
Yeah, and to match a high shutter speed a used Corvette!
