I agree! XD
Oh it won’t end there. That’s just the beginning.
Curse you, continuity!!!
Well, she is half lion…
Gilda from season 1 would disagree about being immune to spicy food
Well apparently you don’t know mammals very well, which is strange considering you are one (we all are). If the capsaicin concentration was meant to discourage mammals as you say, then it wouldn’t be safe for us humans to consume. And yet chili peppers have been domesticated and consumed for thousands of years my friend, going all the way back to the Inca and Maya kingdoms. Naturally the peppers spread around the world when the Spanish came over and started trading with the natives, finding the peppers to be a curious oddity in the New World. The capsaicin gave the plant a unique flavor unlike any other found in Europe or Asia, and it quickly became popular as a spice additive in various dishes around the world.
I don’t know how often birds eat peppers, counting from the birds’ point of view—but from the chili plants’ point of view, it’s super important. The birds are a huge help for dispersing the plant: when they eat peppers, they swallow the seeds whole, then poop them out after flying miles away. And the birds’ digestive system makes the seeds more likely to germinate than they would on their own. In contrast, when mammals eat fruit like peppers, they tend to chew up the seeds and ruin their chances of growing into a new plant.

True, though I don’t think they would eat that type of food on a daily basis. Real life birds tend to eat seeds and insects a lot more (at least in regards to smaller birds like chickadees and sparrows), and larger birds may also eat fish as well. Neither of those things are particularly spicy.
Fun fact: a cup of apple seeds have enough cyanide to kill a person, but you could swallow that cup of seeds without issue due to humans being unable to digest the outer shell of the seed.
If you crushed the seeds beforehand, though, that’s where the danger begins.
And griffons and hippogriffs are both part bird, so probably resistant.
Edited
Actually cyanide is only found in the seeds of an apple.
