Does pollen stick to bird feathers?

Yes, pollen sticks to bird feathers. Birds are important agents of pollen dispersal, as they can travel long distances and carry pollen from one flower to another. Pollen grains have a sticky outer layer that helps them adhere to feathers and other surfaces. When a bird visits a flower, pollen grains from the flower's stamens can stick to the bird's feathers. When the bird then visits another flower, the pollen grains can be transferred to that flower's pistil, allowing for fertilization to occur.
