Hi. Can we feed pigeon boiled rice ? Is it safe? My pigeon has much more desire for cooked rice. So we feed her daily. Is it safe? She loves boiled rice. But I don't know whether it's safe or not. Can we feed human foods? Iam asking this because whenever I eat my food, she comes and ask my food. Is it safe to feed pigeon human foods ? Please let me know. Thank you.

Thanks for reaching out. Rice is a carbohydrate and has little nutritional value and can lead to obesity. The carbohydrate could lead to intestinal bacterial overgrowth. A little should be okay but should not be offered much. Good luck.
