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? (1 point) Responses Bird B survives; either bird A or bird C dies, and the other survives. Bird B survives; either bird A or bird C dies, and the other survives. Bird A survives; either bird B or bird C dies, and the other survives. Bird A survives; either bird B or bird C dies, and the other survives. Bird B survives; both birds A and C die. Bird B survives; both birds A and C die. Bird A survives; both birds B and C die.
The likely outcome is that Bird A survives and both Bird B and Bird C die. This is because Bird A has a more varied diet of insects and plant seeds, so it is more adaptable to a lack of plant seeds in their habitat. Bird B, which drinks flower nectar, and Bird C, which eats plant seeds, are more specialized in their diets and may not be able to find enough food to survive during the drought.
