A small population of native red birds lived in a habitat that did not undergo changes for a long period of time. The birds were geographically isolated from other red birds. Predict the effects of natural selection on this population of birds.

The red birds would develop traits that would help them to be better suited.
The population of the isolated red birds would have less genetic variation than the parent population.
This population of red birds would continue to have a similar genetic makeup to the native population.
Only specific alleles of traits would increase in the red birds.
