Hey kids, have an important question to ask? Well, you don't have to wait any longer—email Azula today! |
Is it true a bird’s stomach bursts if the bird eats rice?
— Sarabel
If birds’ stomachs burst when we ate rice, there would be a lot of exploding pigeons any time someone threw rice at a wedding or dropped their Chinese food. (That would be a weird thing to see, wouldn’t it?) Luckily, Sarabel, the story that birds can’t eat rice is a myth—my avian friends and I can digest both raw and cooked rice. In fact, lots of birds eat it right out of rice paddies, and brown rice can be a healthy part of a parrot’s diet. So the next time your family is having some delicious brown rice with dinner, feel free to invite me over!
