Answer:

competition followed by immigration

Step-by-step explanation:

If the bird population eats only a specific species of plant and most of the plant population has been exterminated due to flooding, competition will occur followed by immigration of these birds. This is because the amount of plants has been reduced, resulting in poor availability of food for the birds, which will compete for the few remaining plants. After the birds consume the remaining plants, they will migrate to other regions in search of food.
