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 survives; either bird B or bird C dies, and the other survives.

Since the plants are wiped out, Bird A, who eats insects and plant seeds, will struggle to find food and might not survive. Bird C, who eats plant seeds, will also face difficulties finding food and may not survive. Bird B, who drinks flower nectar, may have a better chance of survival as they can feed on nectar from flowers even if the plants are wiped out.
not a logical awnser.
Apologies for the confusion. Let's reconsider the possible outcomes:
During the drought, if the plants are wiped out entirely and Bird A primarily eats insects and plant seeds, it is likely to struggle to find food and might not survive. Bird C, who primarily eats plant seeds, will also face difficulties finding food and may not survive. Bird B, who drinks flower nectar, may have a better chance of survival as they can still feed on nectar from flowers even if the plants are wiped out.
So, it is likely that Bird B survives, while both Bird A and Bird C may not survive due to the lack of food sources in the habitat.
