The Mistletoe species cannot survive without the Mistletoe Bird. The bird eats the seeds (which are poisonous to it) and then poops out the half-digested seed in a sticky sac which will attach itself to a tree branch from where it will ultimately fall and germinate.
Without the bird, the seed would be too solid to germinate.
