noise....

Is it just me being picky or does the 550D produce a lot of noise at anything above iso400? Took a load of photos today and upped the ISO on av mode to get a decent shutter speed on some birds (stationary) but they all have a fair amount of noise? Is this to be expected? Lens was 55-250is

Yes, if you under-expose. No, if you don't.
 
Short and sweet, but true. With my 550D I got nice clean photos up to and above 1600. Keep an eye on your histogram and ETTR and you should find the noise lowering.
