What’s funny is how absurd this is. Most flowers don’t look like birds and they’re fine.

This has nothing to do with natural selection. It’s just a coincidence that the buds very shortly and from a specific angle vaguely look like birds.
Most of the images shared are probably photoshopped to enhance the effect too.

It’s about tiny percents.
A bird will land on a flower.
A bird will not land on a bird.
So every one in a million time a bird mistakes a flower for a bird, that’s a flower that survives.
All you have to do is wait a couple million years for the odds to turn in the bird flower’s favor.

…But birds pollinate flowers. How is a bird not landing on this (particular, too) flower going to help it survive?
