Lumina Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 1 hour ago, mr peeps said: Kingfishers, for one, do not eat seeds or anything that makes them poop seeds Could they have the seeds on them, and not in them ? I know that some seeds could be transported because they attach to your clothes, to fur for some animals, do some seeds attach to the feathers of the birds ?

Even then, they have been known to eat seeds, among other things.

But there are several other types of transmission. Spoiler I suggest looking further into it, and I recommended taking a look at this to start.
