Wildlife & Birding Upgrade what be better? Nikon z 600 f/6.3 or Nikon z 400 f/4.5

I currently use 180-600mm for wildlife and birding... I feel like its time to upgrade to a prime lens... I find myself mostly birding (like owls and eagles etc)... I do like doing mammals but not to many by me... but I just moved and yellowstone or grand tetons not to far from me so hopefully I can get more mammals... I will also be in africa over the summer and be doing a safari (Namibia)... I own a 1.4x teleconverter also (which in theory could pair with 400 nicely or the 600)... what would all recommend? Thank You!
