can macaws eat sunflower seeds directly from a sunflower as a treat?

[macawgirl]

i swept bird seed (as treats) out of my house onto the porch, and swept the porch. well amazingly some of the uneaten sunflower seeds planted themselves and i actually have sunflowers growing. (WOW!) looks like quite a few which im shocked! anyway, can they birds have seeds directly from the sunflower? never even thought to ask before but then never had sunflowers growing either. wow!

thanks!!!

ps: sunny has been taking his meds. i have had to open his beak though and put them in there to make sure he gets all of it.

I give it to mine as long as the sunflowers aren't treated with any kind of chemicals or pesticides.My flock loves them and they also eat parts of the flowers too.
