Google is your friend:
Although bread isn't harmful to birds, try not to offer it in large quantities, since its nutritional value is relatively low. ... Unsoaked bread can swell up in their stomachs and kill them. Dry chunks of bread will choke baby birds, and a chick on a diet of bread may not develop into a healthy fledgling.
