Nothing, they don't die! This is a myth. The thought was that the rice absorbs the water that the pigeon drinks and the rice becomes too big for it to be digested. However, uncooked rice expands by absorbing hot water (a temperature not found in a bird's digestive system), and absorption from cold water occurs slowly. The bird's digestive system would break down the rice long before the rice could significantly expand. On top of this, birds don't drink vast amounts of water - not enough for rice to expand quickly.
Rice absorbs twice its own volume of water in the cooking process so 1.25 cups of dry rice will make 3.75 cups of cooked rice.
