As for the distance themselves. You'll need to judge that. 100mm-300mm is a very reasonable distance for most shooting.

The other thing to look at is the f stop. Lower the number, the more blurry the surrounding will be that you're not focused on.
I'm looking at another Sigma. I got what i think is a killer deal on a Sigma 70-300 shortly after I got her the camera (Canon EOS T-6) $100 for the 70-300 a Sigma 28-80 and an older 35mm Rebel G2. It was advertised for $200 or something for all on FB. I asked about getting just the one lens and offered $100 for it. They said take it all

She is now into taking pictures of birds and I want to get her something with more zoom. I'm looking at this Sigma 150-600. I want to make sure it's a big enough step up over the 70-300 to make it worth while.

here are a couple of the birds she is baiting into feeding in the back yard shot with the 70-300
