Birds eat berries and seeds, dispersing the seeds in their droppings as they fly.

The behavior that can end up being more harmful than helpful is when birds eat berries and seeds and disperse the seeds in their droppings as they fly. While this behavior can help disperse the seeds and allow for new plant growth in different areas, it can also lead to invasive species spreading and disrupting native ecosystems.

The behavior that can end up being more harmful than helpful in terms of animals helping plants reproduce is when birds eat berries and seeds, dispersing the seeds in their droppings as they fly. While this behavior may initially seem helpful as it aids in seed dispersal, it can also have negative consequences. Some birds may consume and disperse seeds from invasive or non-native plant species, causing them to spread and potentially outcompete native plants. This can disrupt ecosystems and biodiversity. Additionally, the seeds may not end up in suitable conditions for germination, reducing the chances of successful plant reproduction.
