The rumor is 6 fps.
Hopefully it is more, I really like the thought of 10 fps on the Canon
I used to shoot BIF with a 6fps 5DMark III before switching to the 7D Mark II. While I never tested to see if true 10fps is achieved, I can tell you the 7DII is fast and with it I can catch more action (like pelicans chucking down on anchovies) than I could with the 5DIII. The keeper rate goes way up.
IQ-wise, the 7DII is very noisy compared to the 5DIII. Having said that, its IQ is totally useable and I have that 1.6 zoom factor. I'm very happy with the 7DII for BIF. I also have a Canon 70-200 f/4 IS lens and it's really light and sharp. However, as others mentioned, it's not really suitable for BIF due to (lack of) reach, even with a 1.4x extender.
If you decide to go with Canon, a Canon 400mm f/5.6L maybe light enough for your use.
