I thought it was to facilitate the spread of seeds, by giving the eaters a loose and runny stomach, passing relatively quickly through the digestive tract.
My grandma carried fresh jalapeno peppers in her purse for years so when she went out to eat she had something spicy too. That’s the story of how I ended up eating jalapenos with every meal.
I never knew birds were immune until I got pet parrots, they love eating jalapeños, seeds and all, same with those little red Thai peppers. It doesn’t bother them, but then they give me spicy kisses and it burns
