Problem is that birds aren’t affected by capsaicin, the chemical which makes peppers hot, while mammals, like rabbits and humans, are. On the other side of the evolutionary reason for capsaicin’s existence, pepper seeds pass through a bird’s system undigested, while they are digested by mammals.I.e. Birds like jalapenos, rabbits don’t.
