It is a mutual relationship. The flower needs the hummingbird to drink nectar and get a dusting with the flower's pollen, so ensuring there is cross-pollination as the bird moves from flower to flower.

Mutualism: members of different species exist in the same environment to each other's benefit.

  • Pollination is a form of mutualism called "Service-resource relationship".
  • Hummingbirds are pollinators, and plants, like the daffodil, have tubular flowers that take advantage of the hummingbirds method of sipping nectar. So as the hummingbird takes a drink, they are collecting pollen on their feathers and bills and will carry that pollen to the next flower.

The flowering plants are kind of the "restaurant" for hummingbird's. That is where they go out to get a bit to eat...:)
