What animal eats a kangaroo paw?
Very few creatures eat the plant known as "kangaroo paw", because the tiny hairs which cover the flowers have a particularly unpleasant taste that deters predators. Birds in the honeyeater family like to perch on the stems and eat the nectar from the flowers. Where the kangaroo paw is grown as an ornamental plant in gardens, it is at risk from the common garden snail which can eat the foliage right to the ground.
Is the kangaroo paw self germinated?
No. The flowers of the kangaroo paw are mainly pollinated by birds. The way the flower is shaped, together with the position of the anthers bearing the pollen enables pollen to be deposited on the head of birds as they feed on the nectar within the flowers. In turn, as birds move from flower to flower, feeding on each, the pollen transfers to other flowers. Interestingly, different species of kangaroo paw often deposit the pollen on different areas of the birds' heads, limiting the chance of pollen from one species being deposited in the flowers of another.
