Detailed explanation-1: -No two species can have the exact same niche, otherwise they would be in direct competition for resources with one another. If this occurs, then one species will outcompete the other. If the losing species then does not adapt, it would lead to its extinction.
Detailed explanation-2: -What is the advantage of each bird species having a different niche? As more birds feed higher in the tree, available energy increases. More abiotic resources are available for each bird. Predators are less likely to feed on birds in a variety of locations.
Detailed explanation-3: -Competition among members of the same species is known as intraspecific competition, while competition between individuals of different species is known as interspecific competition.
