Island and take only into account the bird population of these two islands. The parameter will stay the same‚ except for one variable; precipitation. I will record how the precipitation changes the beak size of the bird population and what other effects it has on them. My hypothesis is that if the amount of precipitation is changed in one of the island then there will be more food. If there is more food in one of the islands then I can assume that more birds have access to more food‚ thus requiring

A perception of winter is how the days are gloomy and dark and trees have lost their leaves only to look like skeletons and lifeless as there is no color
