ornithophily |
Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia | 0.20 sec. |
ornithophilyStrategy evolved by flowers to ensure their pollination by birds. Ornithophilous flowers are typically brightly coloured, often red or orange. They produce large quantities of thin, watery nectar, and are scentless because most birds do not respond well to smell. They are found mostly in tropical areas, with hummingbirds being important pollinators in North and South America, and the sunbirds in Africa and Asia. How to thank TFD for its existence?
