Seeds are a Food Item commonly left on the ground by Birds. While they can be eaten, Seeds are primarily used for Farming by planting them in a farm plot to grow crops. When planted, Seeds have a chance to grow into any Farm Plant. Birds, Tallbirds, Smallish Tallbirds, Smallbirds, and Pigs can eat Seeds and will pick Seeds up if they find them on the ground. Pigs that eat Seeds don't produce Manure. Seeds can be used to bait Bird Traps.

Feeding Seeds to a bird in a Birdcage will spawn Guano with a 33% chance.

Which plant grows depends on the seasons as Farm Plants have an almost twice as high chance to spawn during their favorite season. Seeds also have a 20% chance to grow into Weeds.

Tips

• No seeds are dropped by birds in the Winter, but the occasional stale or even spoiled seed left over from last season may be found. Crows and Snowbirds will still eat the Seeds, essentially thinning their numbers.
• When using Horticulture Abridged to grow farm crops you can give them enough water for their entire lifespan to obtain seeds provided they are in season, allowing players to start farms quickly.

Bugs

• If the Seeds are dropped on the Walrus Camp (during Spring-Autumn), they will get stuck and prevent the player from picking them up.
