Bears eat anything! They even like motor oil! Had one raid a logging site years ago, bit into and drank a gallon of oil! I always wondered how long it took to send that out the other end!
Yes. I talked to a camp owner once and he said he poured bacon grease on a pile of woodchips and the bears ate the woodchips.

I've seen birds into bear s**t. Taken back what is theirs.
Had one take a monster dump in our driveway late spring, damned stuff looked like the top of a nutty buddy ice cream cone. Lab pup ate every bit of it at about 4pm. I kept her out until about 10PM, nothing. She held it in until 3AM.....

So if you want to get rid of something just pour bacon grease on it?

Probably don't even need bears around for that to work.

Bears in Juneau come right into town in broad daylight and walk around. I was in the barber shop once during peak tourist season and a bear comes walking down the street and peple are freaking out. This is right downtown Juneau.
It just seems odd they’d like bird seed, I know they like grubs and honey, but bird seed ?
Bird seed smells like beer to them.

What Bender said. - even if they don't eat it, they will bite it. At an alpine lake here on the Peninsula, someone had flown in a plastic canoe, which I would use whenever I went there. After a couple years, a bear bit into it. Made a dandy livebox while I was using it fishing for rainbows in the lake. did have to bail once in awhile, or I couldn't re-catch the fish in the canoe.
At one time, I had a couple cases of 30wt within bear reach at my remote cabin. The old cardboard quarts. And some 2 cycle in plastic quarts, both of which a bear or bears liked to sample.
Fixed that by leaving a couple cans of aerosol bug spray in there with them. IIRC, only one of the bug spray was ever bitten, and that was the end of losing oil to the bear bites.
I now keep all such things above reach -after a bear bit into a 5 gal plastic can of gasoline. My watch bear that beds under the cabin overhang when I'm not there doesn't bother the metal stuff, tho he did crimp the propane line to unusability between this last summer and the summer before. Not on purpose- he was just trying to get into the cabin.
They eat all kinds of weird chit. Chain saw bar oil. Yep they love it. I sweeten up salt piles at trail cams with kool aid the scent attracts the deer and they find the salt quicker. First pics every year though are bears. They don't come back though not in to salt. Birdseed is high quality food us humans didn't spend all day beating wheat stalks by hand centuries ago cause it was fun. Once bears get a taste for bird seed you will not get rid of them unless you get rid of the bird feeder or get rid of the bear they just love it.
