Brief Explanations
- For "bird", since we are talking about multiple birds (to have multiple wings), we use the plural "birds". But since the wings belong to the birds, we need the possessive form. So "bird" becomes "birds'" (plural possessive: add an apostrophe after the plural form for regular nouns).
- "wing" is plural here because there are three (from the three birds), so "wing" becomes "wings".
- "shade" is plural because there are different shades, so "shade" becomes "shades".
Putting it together, the correct sentence is "The three birds' wings were all different shades of blue."
