NO SEEDS PLEASE - My Go-To guides for bird information are field guides and David Allen Sibley's books - Guide to Bird Life and Behavior and What it's Like to Be a Bird. Sibley explains that birds eat fruits and berries and regurgitate or excrete the seeds...but I caught this female Scarlet Tanager "chewing" a wild cherry until she could spit the seed out and eat the cherry flesh.
