Answers
Answer:
Ornithophilous
Additional Information:
☆ The process of pollination of flowering plants by birds is known as Ornithophily.
☆ Birds which are involved in ornithophily are Sunbirds, hummingbirds, honey birds, crow etc.
☆ When these birds feed on a plant, the pollen from the flower sticks to their beaks, which they will pollinate on the next flower.
☆ Ornithophilous flowers are brightly coloured and large to attract the birds.
☆ These flowers produce large quantity of nectar.
☆ Plants need to protect themselves from pollen being taken by non-pollinators such as animals, these non pollinators are sometimes known as 'thieves'.
☆ Examples of such flowers are Bombax, Butea, Bignonia etc.
