Unfortunately Bradford pears are toxic to humans (though not birds).

Everything I've found while googling about this says that they are not toxic, they just don't taste very good and are very hard.
As toxic like apples probably. In a small fruit that is easy to ingest whole nobody would take care of removing the seeds. Apple seeds have cyanide so if you eat a lot is unpleasant
