I keep a session of gkrellm running on the right edge of the screen, and one of the things it does is tell me how hot things are, and its telling me the hottest in a 3.7GHZ i5 is physical id 0, at 31C. A 6 core i5 is 28C for all 6 cores, shown individually. IIRC you can have it turn the numbers red if it gets above 75C. Where is it that you are running to with that birdseed?
