Description While figs feed more bird species than any other fruit, insect-eaters, like Rosefinches shown in this image surprisingly outnumber the vast number of birds that are attracted to fig trees. These trees offer great biodiversity and play an important role in conservation. What makes fig trees so essential is their ancient relationship with tiny wasps. Fig trees depend on the wasps to pollinate their flowers. These wasps breed and lay eggs inside their partners figs; consequently, figs are available year-round. In addition, the fig-wasps emerging from the figs before they ripen provide a valuable year-round resource for a diverse variety of insect-eating birds. There are at least several hundred species of insectivorous birds that forage in fig trees throughout tropical, subtropical, and temperate regions globally. Researchers and conservationists are turning to fig trees to prevent the decline of avian insectivores.
