Because of the seeds and grains mostly are the formed and whole in berry shape, that would encourage the bird in nibbling and holding the food. That would mimic foraging which they grey do in wild. They would seem affected in commotion and stress in the environment and could put more in ease via placing them in one corner against wall instead of middle.
