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.
