I'm a birder and pretty fanatical about it (sold a VW to pay for 6 months birding in New Zealand). I would recommend getting 8 or 10 x magnification and an objective lens (the front lens) not smaller than 32mm and not larger than 55mm. I would tend to go for around 42mm, but there are some superb 32mm objective binoculars. Avoid zoom binoculars. They're mostly pretty rubbish. If she had Leupold binoculars and likes them then maybe stick with that brand but get a smaller, lighter, higher quality pair. The gold ring series is apparently good.
I would recommend checking out these sites:
http://www.binoculars.com/
http://www.eagleoptics.com/
http://www.abasales.com
The top end brands are Leica, Zeiss, Swarowski, Nikon. I use Leica's and love them.
Hope this helps.
