Is your bird eating the best foods? Unfortunately, if it were left up to our feathered friends, every food crock would brim with a smorgasbord of seeds. But seed-only diets pose serious health risks for your bird. In addition to being high in fat, most seeds lack the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients your bird needs for optimal health. Thankfully, it is easy to offer a more nutritional diet.
Seed Deficiencies
For most birds, seeds are like irresistible candy. They taste delicious but are not nutritious. In fact, seeds are often low in Vitamins A, D3, B12 and minerals like calcium, iodine, sodium, and more.

Many seed-only diets often try to compensate for the nutritional deficiencies of individual seeds by combining a wide range of seed varieties.

Once in a while they just like something different for fun or variety and that's perfectly normal. If pellets make up the dominant portion of their diet, this is absolutely considered to be more healthy by avian veterinarians. Interestingly the same results continued for pellets vs nuts as long as the nut wasn't bigger than the pellet. However, the birds will often go for a small piece of pellet over an average piece of nut or seed.
Feeding a pelleted diet is essential to maintaining a healthy pet bird. .. [More]

All Natural Preservative
Only a natural preservative in used in Roudybush Low-fat Maintenance, Roudybush Maintenance and Roudybush High-energy Breeder pellets. The new preservative is a combination of d-tocopherol (a close relative of vitamin E), rosemary, and citric acid.
