As far as I know as long as it doesn't contain sunflower seeds its totally safe for uros.

Or is it just that sunflower seeds cause impactions or internal injury?

Because I've seen decent looking birdseeds with sunflower kernels (without the shells). Looked like it'd be safe to eat....

I'm not positive but from what I've heard the actual seeds themselves aren't toxic. I think the problem is that the shells when swallowed cut the esophagus on the way down to the stomach, and I don't think they get totally digested so I assume it would be not only painful on the way in,...... but also out 'ouch'
