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.
