    We can estimate a population of 500 birds.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We can estimate the total bird population using a rule of three with the information given:

    If we find 5 birds with the foot band among 100 birds captured, how many birds there are in total if inicially we put foot bands in 25 birds?

    5 birds with foot band - > 100 birds captured

    25 birds with foot band - > X total birds

    X * 5 = 25 * 100

    X = 25 * 100 / 5 = 500 birds

    We can estimate a population of 500 birds.
