It's discouraged because, even though it is popular to do, the birds eat the rice. This wouldn't normally be a problem since it's easy pick-up. Since rice expands when it gets wet though, it expands in the birds gastrointestinal tract causing them to explode leaving a lot of dead birds after the wedding.

* Rice is very hard to clean up and there is the fear of people falling. Some people hand out gifts so guests can blow bubbles instead. Confetti is also frowned upon on church property.
