Well, that didnt work out as expected.

CAPCOM

CAPCOM

I am of course referring to (Mother Nature) if you will, using capsaicin in peppers as a way to keep mammals like us from eating them. That just really did not work out too good. If anything, it encouraged consumption
 
Just a passing thought..
 
 
Now, on to the real question, I have seen recently many varieties of peppers with a NOT preceding the name etc Not red bhut, Not black naga. what is this NOT implying?
 
the NOT means they pulled seeds from a variety and grew it out the next year and it wound up being a cross or a mutation not looking like the original, so they call it NOT, there can be a million different types of NOT, when i was a noob i thought they were rare varieties so i always traded for them but it ended up that i was just a dumb ass lol. 
 
Thats true, but the addition of capsaicin to the pepper would have no bearing on birds eating them. they spread pepper seed  from peppers that contain no heat just as well.
And beside, its not the seed that contains the capsaicin and the seeds the birds do spread may very well have fallen from the pods already.

Well that makes absolutely great sense and I appreciate your candor.

addition of cap will deter the other foragers making the fruits more abundant for the birds to eat.

I know your not saying hot peppers are for the birds. But I could make the case, or point out you did. :)
