    What’s funny is how absurd this is. Most flowers don’t look like birds and they’re fine.

      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.
