A forest area being used for a new housing development. Most of the trees have been removed to make room for the new houses. Predict the impact that this will have on the birds in the area.

The bird population will increase because humans will provide them with bird houses

The bird populations will decrease because he humans will hunt them

The bird population will stay the same because the birds can easily adapt to less nesting areas

The bird population will decrease due to the increased competition for resources such as food and nesting sites

The most likely impact of clearing a forest area for a new housing development on bird populations is that it will decrease. This is because the loss of trees and vegetation will result in less habitat and nesting sites for birds. The birds will also have to compete with the humans for resources such as food, water, and space. Some bird species may not be able to adapt to these changes and their populations may decline. Overall, the disturbance and destruction of their natural habitat will have negative consequences for the bird populations in the area.
