50mm f/1.8 is great for portraits and detail, not really telephoto enough for birds.
The 18-55mm IS is a nice replacement for the stock 18-55, but won't let you zoom in on birds either. It's great for other stuff though.
17-85 is large and not great for birds either.
55-250 is cheaper than the 17-85 and at 250 will be nice for birds, while also has IS which may help your wobble problem (also it's a less than 300mm which will help).
I'd go for the 18-55mm IS and 55-250mm IS instead of the 17-85, the two together cost about the same as the 17-85 anyway.
