7 In order to rescue them from extinction, a particular species of ground-nesting birds is introduced into a nature reserve. The number of breeding pairs of these birds in the nature reserve, \(t\) years after their introduction, is an integer denoted by \(N _ { t }\). The initial number of breeding pairs is given by \(N _ { 0 }\). An initial discrete population model is proposed for \(N _ { t }\). $$\text { Model I: } N _ { t + 1 } = \frac { 6 } { 5 } N _ { t } \left( 1 - \frac { 1 } { 900 } N _ { t } \right)$$

    (c) Hence find the long-term behaviour of the number of breeding pairs of this species of birds in the nature reserve predicted by Model I when \(N _ { 0 } \in ( 0,150 )\). An alternative discrete population model is proposed for \(N _ { t }\). $$\text { Model II: } N _ { t + 1 } = \operatorname { INT } \left( \frac { 6 } { 5 } N _ { t } \left( 1 - \frac { 1 } { 900 } N _ { t } \right) \right)$$
