They just got healthier when they weren't eating ourshitty food. Hard to believe.

Could be that, or the lack of humans lead to food scarcity for the urban birdies and the wild type were better adapted and thrived more and had more living babies for those couple of generations.

Did they actually become healthier? It sounds like their beak shapes just changed to adapt to what they needed to eat
