No, it may have a much greater viability with a "bird gut dependency".
Seeds that require a pass through a digestive tract, or a fire, or a
freeze and thaw are generally also well protected and will survive
harsh conditions in dormancy. They will receive better dispersal or
germinate under better conditions, and so will end up with a greater
yield.

No, this is a flaw in Darwin Evolution theory. Your above is another example of "postdiction" of Darwin
Evolution. This particular flaw is that of "generalist" versus "specialist" and that when a plant or
animal becomes too specialist faces the quick road to extinction. If you look at the record of species
gone extinct it is replete with specialists, seldom any generalist.

Give you an example I recently encountered. I kept finding dug holes near a garage concrete slab and
determined to trap the culprit. Come to find out it was possums. Possums generally live in trees and
make their homes there, but in cold climates they have the habit of digging down deep under to survive
the winter. So they are generalists and have spread their domain. So by Darwin Evolution we can
understand that this generalizing of behaviour is a survival value and increases the range of the
species and the numbers of the species. But Darwin Evolution would be deaf dumb and silent and
postdiction as to why any animal or plant species (prunus tomentosa specializing to have its seed
germinate only if passed through bird gut). So no plant or animal would make a choice of going to be
specialized from that of generalized. So, Darwin Evolution is again a flawed theory which works okay in
large part but is flawed and frayed at all margins. It is an algorithm, a rule of thumb. The true
theory that replaces Darwin Evolution is what John Bell, the physicist called Superdeterminism. For you
cannot have a world where both Darwin Evolution and Superdeterminism co-exist.
