Yes. Rice is a grain. Birds eat grain. The EXPLODING bird story is an urban myth. Millions of Canada geese and ducks will attest, rice is good for them. Rice is a staple diet for chickens in rice growing countries.
However, the rice that birds eat in the wild is NOT the harvested and processed, dry white rice that humans use in cooking. Wouldn't it be better, then, to NOT feed this kind of rice to wild birds?
