They are.

So I decided to pick out the sunflower-looking seeds and plant them in a
pot.

Looks like they are germinating, so I am now wondering if birdseed is a
cheap bulk seed source - wonder what else is in there :-)


Lots of interesting things, many of which easily sprout. Millet,
buckwheat, barley, flax, safflower, milo (sorghum) and maize are
possibilities.
