Roundup and seeds

Tucson, AZ(Zone 9a)

Hope someone can help with this. The managers of my Mobile Home Park are going to spray Roundup on all the lots (they're all gravel) to kill the weeds. The doves and quails love digging under the feeders for dropped seeds. Will the sprayed seeds harm the birds?What if I stop putting out the feeders now so they stop coming by for awhile? How long before I can start feeding everyone again?
Thanks!

Suggest you read a label on Roundup for how long residuals remain. You can probably find info online. I'd stop feeding immediately and not resume until it's safe. Due to birds' extremely small body weight, it doesn't take much to affect them. I use Roundup and I'm careful not to spray where the birds eat.
