I love having a bird feeder in my yard and watching feathered friends come and enjoy the food I put out for them. As well as using typical bird feed, like seed mixes and suet balls, I like to give garden birds an occasional treat. That's why I was intrigued to discover you can give birds rice from time to time.
When it comes to helping garden birds in summer, you can give them treats like putting pasta in a bird feeder. Cooked rice is no different as a nutritional snack for birds, packed full of goodness to help their health. Of course, whenever you give birds human foods, there are some words of warning to follow. In this case, it's all about how you prepare the rice, although you may be surprised to hear both cooked and uncooked rice is safe for birds to consume.
