Is the R5 much better than the R6’s I mainly shoot photos of animals at the zoo, I tried the R7 but didn’t like the crop body and the ISO performance, I do also like to take pictures of birds would the extra cropping power of the R5 be that beneficial?

The R5 does offer more MP so you would be able to crop a bit more than the R6's. However, why not just get a longer lens, or an extender for the lens, and avoid cropping at all?
You didn't mention what you are currently shooting with or what lenses you currently use. That might help us give you a better answer.

Greetings,
Between the three cameras mentioned above, only two should be considered. The R5 or the R6 Mark II. If you need more megapixels the R5 is a clear winner. The R6 Mark II has a little better ISO performance and a lower megapixel count. The improvements between the R6 and R6 Mark II are dramatic enough to not even bother considering the R6. The cost difference is negligible and the features/ performance gains are huge.
