Blackberry seeds are dispersed by the birds and animals that feed on the berries. Here a blackbird eats a berry. By the time the seeds have worked through the bird's digestive system it is likely that it will have moved some distance away from the original plant.

Prickly shrub, closely related to raspberries and dewberries. Native to northern parts of Europe, it produces pink or white blossom and edible black compound fruits. (Rubus fruticosus, family Rosaceae.)

The North American blackberry (Rubus allegheniensis) has white flowers and grows wild in Canada and the eastern USA.
