Hey, we fit the same niche as birds in this situation. Birds eat chili fruit and poop the seeds. We collect the seeds from chilies, breed more chilies and selectively breed spicier chilies.
Um.. no...?
Birds can't taste spicy. The chilli meant to be eaten exclusively by birds and not mammals.
Birds aren't even in a niche, they're the target
I deseed my chiles before consuming - not to reduce heat but because the seeds give me heartburn. So they go straight to the power plant for incineration and generation of electricity. Sorry, chiles :-(
