Explanation:
- When the bird takes up the nectar that is rich in energy, the pollen will be deposited on the bird's body part like head or neck and then will be transferred to the next flower that it goes to. Thus two aspects; flower nectar and flower colors are majorly responsible for bird pollinated plants.
- Most bird pollinated flowers are red and have a lot of nectar. They also tend to be unscented. Flowers with generalist pollinators tend to have dilute nectar but those that have specialist pollinators such as hummingbirds or sunbirds tend to have more concentrated nectar.
