Sara,
There are a number of different fungicides which can be used as seed coatings. Would you be able to take a photo or two of the bag and send it to me? There should be a section with an active ingredient(s) listed. That'd be the detail I need to look up potential issues for birds.

Thank you for responding Gordon. I am forwarding the pic of ingredients on the grass seed to the extension email, referencing the question # per your request. My notebook isn't sending images in viewable format (for some reason:)
