Question

1. describe one trait that might increase a birds chances of survival in a city compared to the wild.

Explanation:

In a city, there is more human - made noise. Birds with the trait of being less sensitive to noise (or having a higher tolerance for urban noise levels) would be more likely to survive. This is because they can better adapt to the noisy city environment compared to the relatively quieter wild. They can still communicate, find mates, and detect predators (to some extent) despite the urban noise. Another trait could be the ability to forage for food in an urban setting. For example, pigeons have adapted to eat human - discarded food. In the wild, their diet is more natural (seeds, insects in more natural habitats). A bird that can easily identify and access human - related food sources (like scraps in trash cans) has an advantage in the city.

Answer:

One trait could be noise tolerance. Birds that are less sensitive to urban noise can better communicate, find food, and avoid predators in the city compared to the wild. Another trait could be the ability to forage for human - related food sources.
