What I jokingly meant was if you buy prime lens, then it's going to always have the same fixed focal length and to bring the photographed subject closer to you, you'd need to walk towards that subject or, inversely, if you're to close to the subject, you'll need to walk away from it for better framing -- something you don't need to do with zooms (or do less).
My suggestion then would be, if snapping birds is your main thing, then don't go with primes and go with the zooms. Spend as much as you can for the one with quality glass and greater reach. Considering the fact that you also specified your preference for "all-around lens", I'd say 24-105 would probably be the very minimum zoom you should consider, keeping an eye for others, with higher second number (105, 135, 200, 300, etc.). Hope that helped.
