Birds (and bees) dive into flowers to drink up the "nectar", sweet juices produced within the flowers. Right next to the nectar are the stamens and pistils, which are the male and female reproductive organs; the birds and bees get pollen from one flower on their bodies, and spread it to other flowers.

We call this "symbiotic" behavior; two completely different organisms that evolve together so that each benefits the other.

And it isn't a matter of "the plants _want_ to attract birds"; there is no consciousness involved. The birds do their bird things, and it "just happens" to benefit the plants; the plants create the nectar naturally, without knowing that it feeds the birds and bees.
