The scientific term that best describes this scenario is natural selection.
This is because the birds with long legs have a survival advantage in their environment due to their ability to access food, leading to a change in the population over time.
Consider the following scenario:
In an aquatic bird population, some birds have long legs. Other birds have short legs. The food supply is minimal. The birds with long legs are able to wade farther into the water where they can find fish. Over time, the birds with long legs become more common.
