Update. I had bought and ate a whole 10# bag of shelled sunflower bird seed. No issues. That was 10 years ago.
the issues around this are that those seeds may have been treated in various ways to prevent bugs in storage or even the storage conditions could be different and since it wasn't meant for human consumption there are not as many regulations about what the grower, processor, manufacturer, distributor, etc.. has to put on the package.
