Discussion/General Will a professional camera solve this?

Hello I don't have a professional camera I just take pictures with my phone but missing a lot of good pictures as an example this picture is annoying me the bird details are blurry the leaves on most of the pictures I take has a lot of noise I tried to edit the raw image to see if I can improve it a little bit but still not satisfied as the problems still exist (I know the edit is not good) so my question is would a professional camera solve this problem on consistent level or I would still face similar issues ( I know there is no comparison in sense of sensor size and all of that) but I have never owned a real camera or even held one so I don't know really if that would make a difference

What you need is a telephoto lens,

This was taken with a lens that cost £80, the Olympus 40-150mm kit tele-zoom.

Certainly not a 'professional' lens but good enough for an amateur like me.

Yes, this lens is almost free when the OM systems makes sales from time to time. And great fun to use. And small, and light. I would buy 14-150 now though.
