Wedding Rice Is It True That Throwing Rice At A Wedding Is Harmful For Birds?

Is it true that throwing rice at a wedding is harmful for birds? - wedding rice

I've heard that when the rice is thrown after a wedding when the birds eat the swollen bellies and later their detriment.

Some people I talk to say, this is absolutely ridiculous.

Someone knows the truth behind all this?

This is an urban legend .. in reality many of these wild birds eat rice as part of their normal diet. See more information at:

It is not too ridiculous, cuz if a bird eats one of their stomachs can eat full of other things, on this day .. and when he comes and eats a little rice to the rice, the temperature of the stomach will expand, many birds. . So, if this happens to go belly is quite full with other things, then yes, that birds can damage ...

From what I understand, is true. Rice growing in liquid form, which is for humans. Only when we eat makes us quite dry ... I guess. I've never tried - who eat only what is already overcrowded. But from the stomach of a bird is so small, when the rice is eaten dry, stomach rupture in May. Not cool for a birdie. It is perfectly logical to me. Not only is harmful - they die.
