Are you satisfied with the sports and birds shooting by the Canon R6 Mark II with a RF 24-240 mm f4-6.3 lens?

I don't have the R6ii or an R6, however, that camera with the RF 24-240 mm lens is not a setup I would recommend using for birds. I would think a cost effective setup for you would be the RF 100-400mm with an RF 1.4mm extender. I use that lens and extender on my R7 and get great results.
Not to start a big discussion here, but you would probably be better off with the R7 or R5 if you are looking to shoot birds. Each has a higher megapixel count so as to produce more detail and better cropping.
Good luck to you!
From a focus acquisition and focus speed perspective, you’ll be fine. It has a USM focusing motor. F/4-6.3 is fine outdoors during the day. The 240 on full frame means you have to be using a bird feeder with fairly domesticated birds. Or maybe an environment where the birds are really used to people being around.
The other responder is correct. The 100-400 is a better choice. It has a USM focusing (fast), as sharp or sharper with more reach, and lighter by 100 grams or so. It’s also less expensive. I love that one as a hiking lens. It also has a short minimum focus distance with a 0.41x maximum magnification which is great for wild flowers and fungi on the trail.
