Blackberry, cherry and apple seeds are dispersed in this way.
Birds also like to eat fruit and they help to disperse seeds to other areas through their droppings

The sticky seeds stick to the bird's beak. They then rub their beaks clean on the bark of trees. The sticky seeds are left on the bark to grow into new mistletoe plants - mistletoe is a parasitic plant.

plants often surround their seeds with a brightly-coloured and sweet-tasting pulp. When animals like birds eat the fruits, the seeds pass through their digestive system and are passed out in their waste. There are many fruits that are dispersed by animals. Some examples of fruits dispersed by animals are blackberries, cherries, mangoes and apples.

Animals of all sorts and sizes help plants to disperse their seeds. The method they use depends on the type of seed.
Seeds with attractive fruit or seeds
To attract the animals and birds and encourage them to act as seed carriers,
plants often surround their seeds with a brightly-coloured and sweet-tasting pulp.

Raspberry

Sea Grape

Bilberry

In the deserts of North Africa, elephants eat the fruits that have fallen from the trees and deposit the seeds in their droppings several miles away. In South American jungles, monkeys eat figs and other fruit, carrying some away in their stomachs and dropping others onto the ground. In Britain, foxes eat raspberries, squirrels eat nuts, blackbirds eat our strawberries, mice eat grass seeds, and in South Africa, even ants carry seeds into their nests, eat the tasty outer covering and leave the seeds to grow safely underground.
As well as eating them, some animals collect the fruits or seeds and bury them to eat later, but forget about them and the seeds germinate in their new location. Sometimes, as in the case of Mistletoe, the seeds are covered in a sticky slime which the birds rub off on a new tree. Even humans carry seeds far away for plants - by taking an apple on a picnic, for example, and throwing the core, with its seeds, into the bushes.
Examples of seeds spread by this method include:

Date

Monstera

Tamarind

Lablab

Diospiros

Sunflower

Seeds with clinging hooks or spines
When animals take fruits or seeds for food, they act as willing transporters of the plant's seeds.
Sometimes, the plants make use of animals to carry their seeds without giving them any reward.

Entelia

Lesser Burdock

Sea Holly
Many plants produce fruits or individual seeds covered in hooks or spines which attach the seed to the animals's fur or feathers - or, in the case of humans, to our clothes or bags. The seeds are then carried a sufficient distance from the parent plant to give them space to grow. Eventually, the seed may fall off, or be rubbed off by the animal.
The most well-known plant of this type that we have in the UK is probably Goose Grass or Sticky Weed, which children throw at one another in a game, but in other countries there are larger such hitch-hikers which can damage animals when they become lodged between the animal's toes and cause infection and lameness. There's more information about species in North and South America that produce large hooked or prickly seedpods here.
Examples of seeds spread by this method include:

Rambutan

Bixa

Trollius

Cynoglossum

Orlaya

Eryngium

Some fruits like that of the burdock plant have seeds with hooks.
These catch on the fur of animals and are carried away.

There is a type of coffee that I know that is waste by a type of fox called the Kopi Luwak.

Their coffee is the worlds one of the most expensive coffees in the world!Because it is a endangered animal.

Plants are important parts of our life if we dont have them there will be no us, so we have to treasure them.

This is explosive dispersal. An example of this is plants which belong to the Pea Family (Leguminosae). They produce seed pods which dry in the sun.
As a pod dries, tensions are set up in the wall of the pod eventually causing it to split along two lines of weakness. As the two halves curl back, suddenly released like a tense spring, they flick out the seeds inside in an explosive manner. In the picture opposite, the halves of a seed pod which has ruptured in this way are clearly twisted, in contrast to the whole pod which is entire.

For example, the animal eats the fruit but only the juicy part is digested. The stones and pips pass through the animal's digestive system and are excreted to form new plants. This can be far away from the parent plant. Blackberry, cherry and apple seeds are dispersed in this way. Plants such as burdock have hooks to which the seed is attached. These hooks easily get caught in the fur of mammals as they pass by the plant. At some point the seed will fall, often a considerable distance from the parent. If conditions are right the seed will germinate and grow into a new plant. That is another way animals help plants disperse their seeds.
