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?

Since the plants were wiped out, Bird A, who eats plant seeds and insects, would have the best chance of survival as it has multiple food sources. Bird B, who drinks flower nectar, would likely struggle to find enough food and may not survive. Bird C, who eats plant seeds, would also have a difficult time finding food and may not survive either.
