पर्याय

Answer 1

Bombax is an example of a plant pollinated by birds, a process called ornithophily. Birds such as sunbirds serve as the biotic agents of pollination for ornithophilous plants. Other examples of bird-pollinated plants include Butea and Callistemon. These plants typically have bright red or orange flowers with large quantities of nectar to attract birds as pollinators.
