A few individuals of a bird species fly to a small city that previously had no individuals of this species. The immigrant birds

find that the city has adequate food and no predators. On average, each bird has four offspring per year and lives for two years. Imagine that after the birds have been living in the city for many years a second big flock of birds arrives. How will the bird population size change in the 10 to 20 years after the extra birds arrive?

Several elements influence a species' population in a given area, including environmental factors, predator numbers, and food availability. When the initial bird species first reaches the city with sufficient food and no predators, its population flourishes for a time until additional bird flocks arrive, leading to competitive pressures that diminish the original population.
