05
Why this diet?
Its feeding behavior supports the principle by showing how the bird finds usable resources through its body design, timing, and preferred habitat.
06
Activity, rest, and lifespan
Its daily rhythm follows feeding, shelter, migration, breeding, and seasonal light, linking the lesson to repeated behavior.
The lifespan varies by conditions, but survival depends on repeating the species strategy across seasons rather than one lucky moment.
