This could be location dependent to some degree - maybe even variety dependent. That said, I've got plenty of "volunteer" serviceberries, but they're all "independent operators" rather than having babies under them, which suggests to me: 1) that yes, the birds are distributing them and 2) that like our local huckleberry, the seeds actually *need* to go through a digestive tract to germinate.
That's just conjecture based on observation - another observation is the Robins definitely like Serviceberries! (and generally manage to harvest them before I do!)
