No. It is an urban myth that eating rice will kill birds.
the rice myth
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?

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. While some proponents insist that a large volume of rice can cause internal bleeding for pigeons and other birds, this is undocumented and usually dismissed as an urban myth. (see link)

No. Rice is a grain. Grains are very healthy for birds. Cooked rice will obviously be better for the bird to digest, however. Not all birds will recognize rice as food unless they are trained, for example tropical Amazon birds, since there is no rice in the Amazon rainforests,
Chinese myth says that rice was sold as a gift to the gods in place of animals. It is said that after the lands were flooded, all living plants were destroyed. Animals were scarce, making hunting difficult. One day, a dog came abounding across a field and as it approached the Chinese people, they noticed its fur was covered with yellow seeds. They planted the seeds to get rice. Even today, many Chinese people have a strong belief that rice is the most precious thing.
