Welcome Bob and thanks again for joining up here and saying hello. The R5 is a very nice choice for your 'first digital' digital camera. We have a birds forum where you'll find lots of shots of birds in flight taken with the R5 or ask for tips. You can also make use of our Instaview tool and filter by birds and the Canon R5 to simply view images.
The R5 does handle fast action pretty well with the default settings, but there are also lots of customizations and tweaks that you can make. I'd recommend taking a look at this excellent video from Ron since he covers everything in detail.
