Case bearing Moth
because all the 'good stuff' is in side the shell and its to tuff to eat... its like a orange, you can eat the 'shell' but the stuff inside is nicer.
The sparrows eat flax seeds like crazy from my backyard. They hang allover the little plant in while eating the flax seed.
The Carpel is a leaf like, seed-bearing structure that makes up the innermost whorl of the flower. The seed development takes place within the carpel.
By the seed's either getting caught on them, such as in their fur and them falling off, or when they eat things like fruit, and later dispose of the fruit and their seeds in another area.
Different finches like different seed. Thistle attractspine siskins and goldfinches, and sunflower attracts goldfinches, pine siskins, purple finches, house finches, and other birds like nuthatches, cardinals, titmice, chickadees, grosbeaks.
The shell covering a seed is sometimes called a hull.
There is the outer shell and the seed inside
Some seeds have an outer covering which makes it hard for insects and animals to get into. Sunflower seeds have a hard outer shell to protect itself from predators.
an insect dust as well as a fungicidal dust will prevent rot
Nyjer seed does not have a shell like sunflowers. Wild birds eat all of the nyjer seed.

This is just like a pimple except sometimes the body will enclose the irritation in a shell or coating that could look like a seed. Nothing to worry about.
fungus cause seed rot, not insects

My opinion is if you brake the shell first and then eat the inside. Sometimes i would like the shell or if it a shell and lick it (dont judge me) or something and then crack it and eat the inside OK
A seed is inside a hard shell. So Until It is planted it is stored in that. Once planted and roots start to grow the seed starts to break out of the shell!
