Certainly, the most you could do would be able to generalize these findings
to the SAME bird species ...  if you find a difference that would not
necessarily mean that OTHER species who were transplanted would necessarily
react similarly.  Secondly, what you described could not exactly be called
random samples for all 3 islands so ...  how close to random would you say
they are?  Third, what type of beak size difference is important ...  and
regardless of "significance", is what is observed equal to or greater than
that?  Well, just some thoughts ...  gee, and all I seem to analyze are
differences in test scores and junk like that!

PS ... if you do find a difference, WHAT is it due to??????
