    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.
