Default Do finches eat the entire nijer seed or just the shell?

"Bird Guy" wrote in message ...
When finches eat nijer seed, do they (or, are they supposed to) eat the
entire seed, or do they somehow crack the seed open and discard the
outer shell?

Finches are well equiped to crack open seeds. It's not a case of somehow.
