Best Answer

Those which supply the bird with sugary, syrupy, sweet substances. That is the birds' food supply, but it has to reach deep into the flower with its specially elongated and curved beak. In so doing the bird helps the flower because the flower "dusts" the birds with pollen which is then passed on to the same kind of flower. This "pollination" is the first stage in the production of more plants .
