Probably a silly question seeing im clueless with telling certain seeds apart whilst there're actually apart of the plant not in a seed mix, but i found this plant growing right next to the avairy and it had some ripe seeds off it, it looks something like a familiar seed id give in their mix but i wanted to make sure if it was an eatable seed for the birds, thanks.

I agree with Tiaris. Red Pannicum.
I planted an area in the veggie garden and the gouldians loved it.
