I have two recommendations. I got a monocular a couple of years ago and I use that all the time instead of binoculars. Much lighter and easier to hold than binocs. Don't get the cheapest ones, I got one about $70.
For binocs, I have 4 pairs but the one I swear by is a pair of Tasco 10x50 I got a dozen years ago. I don't know if the quality has decreased but it's only $36 on Amazon now. I keep waiting for this cheap pair to break or the lens to get loose or something but they're cheap and still work great.
I just checked. Mine is a no-name Chinese brand 12x50. It's no longer sold on Amazon but it's like this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015CORKYM
I think they're all made by the same factory but just with different names. I would highly recommend somethihg like that because I've used it a couple of years and it's great for backyard birding.
It's only 12x50 but I'm not sure I'd recommend a bigger one. I have a high powered one but I only use it for stargazing because it's too heavy and the field of vision is too tight for birds.
