Wouldn't this be the perfect example of mutualism?
Don't both parties benefit?
My biology book does not consider this to be considered symbiosis. Can you think of why?
Would a humming bird and flower (that contains pollen) be an example of symbiosis?
I would call this mutualism because the flower benefits from being pollinated and the bird benefits by getting food. I cannot imagine why the book doesn't consider this to be symbiosis. Does it mention flowers and bees as a symbiotic relationship? It's the same thing.
Reply:I think symbiosis is a closer relationship. Like an Algae and a fungus in Lichen.
