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?

The likely outcome for each type of bird is that Bird A survives, as it has a more diverse diet that includes both insects and plant seeds. However, it is possible that either Bird B or Bird C may die, depending on the availability of their specific food sources. It is less likely that both Bird B and Bird C would die, as long as there is some food available for them to feed on.
