3.DSET: My claim is that the 4-tine forkbird is the most efficient eater. I think that the 4-tine forkbird is the most efficient eater because it has more tines to balance food at a time. It started off as 6 and then to 14. The 1-tine forkbirds started off as 5 and then ended with 2. The 1-tine and 2-tine forkbirds wouldn't be able to balance as much food on their "beaks." Each bird species has a different beak shape to help it survive. It is an adaptation that makes each bird different, that fits into their habitat.

4. As a result of heavy rains, the major source of forkbird food is now blueberries. After many, many generations, how will the new food source affect the forkbird population. Explain your thoughts. The new food source will affect the population of the forkbirds by a lot.
