Nope. Not true. In China, they keep ducks in rice paddies and the ducks eat the fallen rice. Lots of birds eat rice. And with no harm.

It's not true.

I think if they did eat too much raw rice and get a drink afterward, the rice would just get soggy. Rice has to be steamed or boiled in order to expand, and a pigeons stomach isn't capable of those temperatures. You go ahead and try, but it's a waste of time and rice on your part.

What a lovely person you are. I would strongly suggest you get a therapist. Cruelty to animals is a first sign of serious mental problems. And no. Its not true. Many many birds eat rice. Its even put in some bird food.

i believe that if they eat enough rice that it is possible because in turn they will drink causing the rice to swell.
