Answer 3

I hope not but i have heard its possible, What kind of person would do that??  an ignorant ill educated nasty one!  

And if you give me a thumbs down im obviously refering to you!!

Answer 4

Yes, it is possible. Birds do not have the capability of farting or burping. So when you give it coke, and then put a menthos in there, the gasses will build up to the point where the stomach explodes. When the stomach explodes, then the gasses will be released through the feathers. But the blast from the stomach could end up blowing body parts off as well. I would not reccomend trying this. As for whether the birds would feel the pain, probably not. They might get the sense of extreme bloding, but they wouldn't be in pain when the stomach pops because they would die almost instantly.

Answer 5

Yeah Vinny its also just as easy to pop U with my AK47 from 60 Feet

Answer 6

Here is the scoop on bird p**p. Birds do not have the capability to pass gas. They cannot burp or f**t.  When fed something that expands, as alka seltzer does, the gases that build up have no place to escape to. Once the stomach is full to popping, that is exactly what it does. It explodes inside the birds body. In NYC, I believe, it is illegal to throw rice at wedding outside because the pigeons (the thousands of them) will swoop down to eat the free food. Rice, when mixed with stomach acids or even just water, expand. It causes NYC to have a huge mess of dead pigeons to clean up.  I have not ever tried it personally, but there are the facts behind the myth which I would consider a true story. They do not visually blow up as a stick of dynamite makes things blow up, but they do blow up inside and do, indeed, die.  Anything that expands will kill a bird.  Hope this cleared things up!

Answer 7

That's horrible and cruel.  Don't do it!
