Can you safely feed uncooked rice to wild birds?

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?


What human foods can you feed wild birds?

There are lots of human foods you can feed wild birds, such as bread crumbs, sunflower seeds, chopped nuts and fruits (such as apples and pears), and raisins. I even have all types of birds that fly down to my dog's food bowl on the patio and eat the dry dog food, but the kinds with smaller pieces are much easier for them to eat. Anything that is raw and unprocessed is OK.
