A niche refers to the specific role and position a species occupies in its ecosystem, including its food sources and adaptations for obtaining food. The bird's beak shape adapted to crush hard prey is part of its feeding niche. Habitat is the physical environment the bird lives in, ecosystem is the whole community plus environment, and abiotic factors are non-living parts of the environment, none of which fit the description.
