The mistletoe is dependent on a tiny bird called a flowerpecker to disperse its seeds. The flowerpecker feeds on the fruits (drupes) of the mistletoe. ... This makes the mistletoe a partial parasite. This means that it grows on other plants and trees and draws only the raw material from the host.

Mistletoes are an important group of plants with a greater diversity in the tropics. They support a whole array of organisms in the ecosystem. One such from the urban spaces is a very pretty butterfly called the Common Jezebel. The larvae feed only on mistletoe leaves. It is important for us to realise that the various elements in Nature are all interconneced.
