Swallowed unhusked seed?

Hi. A couple days ago while hand feeding my budgie, I mixed some Harrison’s super fine pellets into the formula because I heard that as baby budgies wean, their parents will start to make the food they regurgitate more solid (I’m not going to do this anymore because I don’t want to risk anything). But I think seeds might’ve accidentally slipped in. They’re small, but they’re unhusked. I heard that budgies can’t digest the seed husk, but I’ve also heard that they can but just don’t. So I’m not really sure what to believe. He did a lot of crop adjusting after that but since then, he hasn’t. He’s been eating well, playing, pooping fine, and chirping. If he did swallow these with the formula, would it come out in his poop? Or would it block his digestive system?

If it's your 7 week old boy we're talking about they'll just go straight through - nothing to worry about ;)
