Natural selection would probably favor different varieties in the different islands. In other words, beaks changed as the birds developed different tastes for fruits, seeds, or insects picked from the ground or cacti (due to lack of food resources). Long, pointed beaks made some of them more fit for picking seeds out of cactus fruits.
