Niche

An ecological niche describes the ecological role and space that an organism fills in an ecosystem. The ecological niche involves both the place where an organism lives and the roles that an organism does in its habitat. An animal's niche can be determined by competition between animals when searching for food, gender, and age. These are pictures of birds interacting with each other in their natural habitat over a five minute time span. By looking at these pictures one can infer that the niche that each of these birds possess is competition when searching for food because they all keep flying off to other locations and age because some look younger or older than others. Gender may also be a factor in the niches of these birds, if they are not all the same gender.
