birds do not pollinate flowers as they do not sit on a flower and if they sit on flowers then also they don't have so much thin legs that they can pick pollens up like a butterfly or a bee does
answ2. Actually small birds DO pollinate flowers. there are a class of birds called 'honey eaters' (Meliphagidae) and in New Zealand the waxeye (a.k.a. silver eye) pollinates the peach trees in my garden. I've seen a flock of them busy on their task. And we have a bird called a Tui, about the size of a thrush, and these feed on several nectar trees, and on the flowers of flax.
And though I've never seem a hummingbird, these are honey eaters as well i understand.
