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.

That is merely silly. You know nothing of what you speak.
