Question

Perching birds, such as cardinals, warblers, and robins, live in trees. Suppose a developer cuts down all of the trees in an area to build a housing subdivision. What would most likely happen to the perching birds living in that ecosystem? A. The perching birds would begin building their nests on the ground. B. The perching birds would all starve and subsequently die out. C. The perching birds would stop reproducing until new trees grew in the area. D. The perching birds would be forced to migrate to another area.

Answer 1

A is incorrect because if the birds build nests on the ground, predators would kill them off.

B is incorrect because the birds wouldn't necessarily starve because it is only their homes that were removed, not their food source.

C is incorrect because the birds would die off before new trees grew in the area.. and not having a home doesn't disrupt the reproductive systems.

So, that leaves us with D. In order for the birds to survive, they would need to migrate to a new area populated with trees.
