Another option is to get this lens by itself. It is a great general purpose lens that can do up close (not really macro but really nice up close pictures) and has a pretty good reach for birds. I used this lens alone for several years and it still works great for general purpose use. It's a little slow for inside but with a flash it does great inside too.

If you want to save money and still do macro you could just get an inexpensive 35mm or 50mm prime lens (you can get a nice one for $200 or less) and an inexpensive set of extension tubes. Check out this video of Thomas Shahan. He is using a small prime lens with extension tubes and you can see in the video he is taking amazing macro pictures.

As for telephoto, if you are willing to consider the off brands such as Tamron 150-600mm you can get it pretty inexpensive. All the reviews for it are excellent and so far I have nothing but good to say about mine.
