Cheerios

[iluvsedward]

Start a thread on pesticides in food.. Not really what is needed here...

OP asked about cheerios, so i shared how i know they're dangerous to other animals and why it's probably a good idea to stay away from them. Im only sharing facts, not just my own personal agenda.

Oh okay. Maybe I was thinking of rice. You’re not supposed to feed it to wild birds because it swells right?

Any type of raw or cooked rice is safe for all birds!

You can buy Cherrio type cereal that is organic so no pesticides.

For those that think birds can't have uncooked rice you should read this:

I’ve heard rice swells and can rupture a birds stomach.

Ok well you could have been a bit more understanding. There are all things we don’t know-and myths some of us believe. If it’s wrong, just post some evidence.

Cherrio's are delicious. There's lots of panicked talk about foods these days. Strange thing is people are living longer despite everyone running around worried about what's in your food. We thankfully live in a country where we can make choices about what to eat. I never fed my ducks cherrios but if I have some stale ones they go to the chickens. Everything in moderation.
