No lol, I handle my birds food all the time nothing to be worried about.

Wow you have bears near by!!!!

Also when observing the birds, look around for any starving or hurt birds that you can help by getting to a wild life centre, the birds realy do appreciate us humans looking out for them espeacaily during long cold winters.
