Salted Pumpkin Seeds Birds. Drain water and place seeds on paper towels or a dish towel to dry. While raw, dried, or roasted pumpkin seeds are great for birds, do not offer seeds with salt, seasonings, candy coatings, or other flavorings.

As with most seeds, the majority of this fat in pumpkin seeds is unsaturated fat. When feeding sunflower seeds to birds make sure that the seeds are not salted. One cup contains 3.9 g of monounsaturated fat and 5.7 g of polyunsaturated fat.
