Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.

### Instruction:
In a park, there is a large tree with three birdhouses: one painted red, one painted blue, and one painted yellow. Each birdhouse has a different type of bird living in it. A group of friends visits the park every day to observe the birds but never sees them at the same time. One day, a storm damages the birdhouses, and the park staff replaces them with new ones painted in different colors. How will the friends know which type of bird lives in each birdhouse now? Respond briefly.

The friends can identify which type of bird lives in each new birdhouse by observing the behavior and appearance of the birds when they return to their homes. Since each birdhouse had a different type of bird previously, the friends could recognize the birds by their colors, sizes, shapes, or specific markings that they remember from their earlier observations.

For example, if they know that a cardinal was living in the red birdhouse, a bluebird in the blue one, and a goldfinch in the yellow one, they can watch for these birds to see which new birdhouse they go to. Cardinals are typically red, bluebirds are blue, and goldfinches have a bright yellow hue. When the birds return to their homes, the friends can note the color and type of bird entering each new birdhouse.

Additionally, the friends could pay attention to the times when the birds are usually active and see which new birdhouse the birds enter and leave from during these times. This would further help in confirming which bird has taken up residence in each of the new birdhouses. Sound could also be a clue, as different species of birds have distinct calls and songs, and the friends can use this auditory information to help distinguish the occupants.

If the friends have been observing the birds regularly, they may also recognize individual behaviors or preferences in the birds' actions (such as how they fly to their houses, the materials they gather for nesting, or the way they interact with the surroundings), which will help them link each bird to its respective new birdhouse. Over time, the friends will gather sufficient observations to confidently identify the bird in each new birdhouse.
