Answer:

Birds have preference to striped snails

Explanation:

The total number of snail with stripes is lesser in number as compared to the total number of snails with solid or no color. Despite this, the birds prefer to feed on snail species that are in minority to the total snail population.  

This represents likeliness of birds to feed on striped snails which constitutes nearly 56 percent.
