Best Answer

Not all birds like seeds. They have to have the proper beak shape to open a seed. Some birds prefer only insects, fish and some even eat small mammals, snakes and other small creatures.

A seed has a great deal of stored oil, protein and starch for the health and livelihood of a bird, especially during winter when fresh food (insects) are not available.
