Rice paper usually refers to paper made from parts of the rice plant, like rice straw or rice flour. However, the term is also loosely used for paper made from or containing other plants, like hemp, bamboo or mulberry.


You have to make sure its eatable rice paper!!

Edible paper
Some sorts of rice paper are edible, e.g. paper from rice flour, and are used for wrapping up food.

This paper is also used for cooking, e.g. summer rolls. Here the paper is put into lukewarm water, and the water dripped off before proceeding.

The main raw material used for producing this rice paper is white rice. White rice powder is refined and then added to a suitable proportion of tapioca powder which makes make rice paper glutinous and smooth. The use of quality rice combined with the traditional method in manufacturing makes transparent rice paper delicious.

To make rice paper, rice is first soaked for 3 hours. Then, the softened rice is ground to powder and strained to remove unwanted particles. It is then soaked and squeezed to remove acidic substances. The remaining paste is then spread thinly and evenly on a surface, heated with steam, and left to dry to form rice paper[1].

Actually, if the rice paper includes tapioca, no. Apparently, tapioca is not good for budgies.
