    Yep!

    Only mammals have the nerve receptors to feel the heat.

    Herbivores grind the seeds up. Plants don’t want that.

    Birds, who can’t sense the heat, happily eat the pods and poop the seeds everywhere.

      Has anyone checked for correlation between having a taste for capsaicin and not chewing your food thoroughly?
