In Te Ngahere we have been learning about mutualism. Mutualism is when two organisms help each other like the tree and the bird.
Birds are the primary pollinators and seed dispensers in New Zealand native bush. Some trees are all pollinated by birds. Some birds are attracted to the flowers of trees and carry pollen from flower to flower. Trees help birds because they have shelter for their nest and food because of the berries and some insects on and in the tree .
If there were no trees the birds would have nowhere to go.There would not be that much oxygen for us to breath and so birds that only eat berries off trees will die. Did you know tree is a producer and a bird is a consumer and the decomposer is bacteria?
