Jack Sprat could eat no fat
his wife could eat no lean,
and so, you see, between them both
They licked the platter clean.
Jack and his wife had different preferences for the food they ate, so never took food from each other’s plate.
Similarly, some birds eat nuts, others fruit, others flying insects, and others worms and grubs.
So they can happily forage and feed together without having to chase each other away from the food supply.
Similar ideas work in economics where some companies specialise in niche markets, and leave others to make products for the mainstream consumers.

In a pond, there are so many different places…
There are niches right at the water’s edge.
There are different ones, just a few feet deeper into the water.
Then there are other niches very deep in the water, and others deep in the soil at the bottom of the pond.
There are niches associated with algae growing underwater and others growing on plants floating in the water.
There could be shady parts of the pond vs sunnier parts, where organisms that prefer one or the other prefer to grow.
If the pond is large enough, it might have an island, effecting creating a barrier from the rest of the shoreline and possibly a very specialized niche…

No, it is kind of a parasite I guess. The cockroach eats the food brought in by the human, and it brings germs that hurt the human.
