Bit of a waste to put it on the beans. bird poo has nitrogen in and beans produce their own own nitrogen from the atmospere. If they find nitrogen in the soil then they stop generating their own. Better to put it on leafy vegetables such as brassicas.
Can't do any harm to try it and see? I put my chicken's poo and wood shavings in compost and mix it up with everything else. Rots down to good stuff.
As long as any left over bird seed doesn't sprout and turn into weeds - but as long as it's been composted for a while and heated up should be ok.
the bird seed will grow... you may get a good crop of hemp ;)/ shades x
Surely, I can't be the only A4A poster that is hacked off with the term 'poo' for shite. ;D

Well I wouldn't know about that but i understand the doctors are very good. Alternatively when I get hacked off with things getting p******d helps! :) medicinal purposes only of course.
Be aware that it may have seeds in it, you may not want unexpected plants or vermin in your compost heap
Chicken poop is very acidic, not sure if thats the same for all bird poo
It'll probably have a similar composition, but once it's been through composting, it should be fine.
