Yes, of course they can. They split open any type of seed like that and eat the inside of them. It's not good to only give them sunflower seeds to eat without a mixture of a balanced diet. Such as: 30% seed mixture the rest in pellets and fresh vegetables.

Although they can eat sunflower seeds.. it isn't good for them, Most birds when they eat sunflower seeds make them extremely mean, you can search it on many sites.
NEXT ANSWER:
The first cockatiel I owned died from fatty liver disease, caused by eating too many sunflower seeds (according to my vet). It should not be a significant part of their diet.
Well you open the bag of sunflower seeds and feed them to the cockatiels. They will then eat them.
Cockatiels eat sunflower seeds because they are the tastiest seeds for them. Seeds are a treat and should be given to cockatiels in moderation, along with plenty of vegetables. It is easy to understand that cockatiels would eat only sunflower seeds because if you got the choice to eat chocolate or vegetables, which one would you pick? Probably the treat, chocolate. Cockatiels would also pick the treat, sunflower seeds. Be careful because too many seeds can cause obesity. Try to add vegetables to your cockatiel's diet.
yes sunflower seeds are part of cockatiels seed mix

Cockatiels can eat crackers, except they make them put on weight. They have no nutritional content in crackers for cockatiels. Despite the movies where birds eat crackers, cockatiels eat vegetables and seeds (as a treat). Your cockatiel should eat everything in moderation. As for crackers, as an occasional treat - cockatiels love them!
Seeds form the basis of a cockatiel's diet. Cockatiels are parrots, and parrots have strong, curved beaks to enable them to crack seeds and nuts, their favourite foods.
Yes
