When finches eat nijer seed, do they (or, are they supposed to) eat the
entire seed, or do they somehow crack the seed open and discard the
outer shell?

Finches are well equiped to crack open seeds. It's not a case of somehow.

I didn't ask IF finches can crack open seeds.
I asked if they normally eat nijer seeds whole, or do they split them
open and discard the shell.

You're going to great lengths to give the impression that you're
answering the question while not overextending yourself by giving a
possibily incorrect (but specific) answer.
