Answer 1

In response to climate change increasing the mean temperature in central Europe, bird populations might primarily respond by moving their range north. Many bird species are known to shift their ranges in response to climate changes, typically migrating to cooler areas as temperatures rise.

However, other responses such as changing their breeding patterns (like laying more eggs) or diet could also occur, but the most fitting and commonly observed response regarding range shifts is moving northward.
