how can oil spills affect the ability of sea birds to acccess resources such as food and shelter? how will other animals that depend on birds for food be affected

Oil has more impacts on birds than just coating their feathers. An area subjected to a large oil spill can become uninhabitable for the birds as food supplies are gradually killed off from the toxic poisons, and oil coating nesting areas destroy critical habitat. The animals can get affected because when they feed off these birds they will get poisoned and eventually die or another animal will feed off it then that cycle goes on.
