drano is an enzyme that breaks up hair and shit, it may work for grains, BUT, clear out the actual drain by using a spoon, then use a plunger, if a plunger doesn't work, use drano, then after an hour, go at it with a plunger again.
You should really be using some sort of screen over your drains

A few rounds of plunging worked for my kitchen drain. You could also get a cheap drain snake from the hardware store.

Be careful when plunging after using draino. It is very very caustic and will give you a hell of a burn to your eyes and face.

Is it mushroom related? I'm curious why you'd have bird seed in the bathtub. 
Use a toilet plunger to unstop the bathtub drain. RR

he probably rinses the birdseed in the tub instead of the sink.

pour a gallown of splash-less gel bleach down there and let set for 12 hours.
It that doesnt work, step it up to muratic acid. Just leve the windows open or you will choke

Plunger, LOL.
My advice for the future: buy a trash can, put a bag in, put it on a stack of pgonebooks and soak your whatevers in that. Then siphon off the water with a length of garden hose ending in a sock.
If you can think something like this up in a minute, why clog your bath tub drain?

They make a liquid snake that works well to push stuff through.

you should think "preemptive strike" AND USE A DRAIN SCREEN BEFORE HAND!

Try red devil lye. It's a powder it comes in a plastic jar with a screw top lid. Most stores have it in the isle with the cleaning shit. It's used to dissolve sludge from the walls of pipes generally people use it if their sink or tub drains too slowly (caused by a buildup of sludge). Works much better than draino. Be very careful it's much more caustic than draino.
