Today I discovered the flower penstemon in my garden and I did not plant it. Birds play a pivotal role in the dispersal of seeds, which is a fundamental process in the propagation of plant species. As they consume seeds, their digestive systems break down the seed coatings, enhancing the seeds’ chances of germination upon being excreted in new locations. This natural mechanism not only aids in plant reproduction but also contributes significantly to the biodiversity of ecosystems. Through this symbiotic relationship, birds assist in maintaining ecological balance and promoting the growth and spread of various plant species. Cheers
