They all differ, so plant some and let us know.

If you've got a patch of anything other than lawn near or under a bird
feeder, just stop weeding it for a few weeks. The birds will do the
planting work for you.

I'm growing a few sunflowers in odd places this year :)

Don't be silly, if you sow bird seed birds don't come up, they come down.

They vary. Possibilities include wheat, millet and other cereals, ornamental grasses, a rather boring crucifer, almost certainly sunflowers. The really interesting ingredient was removed from birdseed a number of years ago.

I think I had some sort of strange plant grow from ours the other year
- not sure if it was a datura or something like jimson weed.
