Three bird species share a habitat. Bird A eats insects and plant seeds. Bird B drinks flower nectar. Bird C eats plant seeds.
A drought occurs in their habitat, and that season’s plants are wiped out entirely. What is the likely outcome for each type of bird?

Bird A is likely to survive as it has a varied diet of insects and plant seeds. Bird B, which drinks flower nectar, may struggle to find alternative food sources and could potentially die. Bird C, which eats plant seeds like Bird A, may also struggle to find enough food and could potentially die as well.
Therefore, the likely outcome is that Bird A survives while either Bird B or Bird C dies, and the other survives.
