    This has nothing to do with natural selection. It’s just a coincidence that the buds very shortly and from a specific angle vaguely look like birds.

    Most of the images shared are probably photoshopped to enhance the effect too.

      I don’t think photoshop is needed to find the right flowers and photograph at the right angle.

      Wow you’re right.

      It’s more like “look at this blossom that looks a bit like a bird” rather than “look at this type of tree that makes bird-like blossoms”.
