Question

(picture is a pic of cute colorful birds c: ) Suppose that you and a friend see brightly colored pigeons like these at a nature park. Because pigeons are usually gray and white, you both wonder where these colors came from. Suddenly, your friend says, "I have a theory. These birds must get their colors from eating food that has the same colors."

Is your friend's explanation a scientific theory? Give reasons to explain your answer.

It is most definitely not a scientific theory. When you eat, say, blueberries for example, do you turn blue? No. It has to do with their genetic makeup, so their parents must have been fun colors.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Well yes it is a scientific theory because he examined the birds and gave a hypothesis on why the birds are different colors, before we knew how birds really got their colors, this could actually have been a very good theory. Birds get their colors just because of genetics, we wouldn't know this unless someone made a theory, tested it, and reported it's accuracy.
