Probably not. Food seeds are usually treated in some way, prolly to make it safer for consumption, but usually roasted or something in such a way that makes it impossible for them to grow anymore.
Not to mention, sometimes seeds require a certain temperature to still be viable after one season, so I really don't think they'll grow. But who knows, I could be totally wrong.

Hahaha sure!
Can't ever know for sure until you try it! :)
I'm interested to see if it does work though. Because that would be totally cool! For you, especially, I'm sure.

I've grown bird seed before there have been some weird and wonderful plants grown from them.
My soul is awakened, my spirit is soaring. And carried aloft on the wings of the breeze. For above and around me the wild wind is roaring. Arousing to rapture the earth and the seas.

Ah, I've seen bird seed grow as well. I think the only difference might be how they are treated in order to make them fit for human consumption. Like we have the Pasteurizing process, there might be something similar to clean seeds, that might make them less viable. I dunno, I'm not basing this on any experience whatsoever. Just guessing.
