Roudybush Now in S.A.

Find out the reasons why Roudybush specialized bird foods is the right choice for keeping your pet healthy and happy. All of the Roudybush Daily Maintenance and Specialty diets are formulated by avian nutritionist Tom Roudybush, M.S.

In his 16 years of nutritional research at the university of California, Davis, 10 of which specifically focusing on the nutritional requirements of pet birds, Tom has become a leader in the avian nutrition field. His work is the basis for most of the published nutritional research in pet birds that are available today.

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. The advantage of d-tocopherol is that it has antioxidant properties but it has very little biological activity, so risk of toxicity is eliminated. Rosemary has natural antioxidant properties. Citric acid binds to certain minerals responsible for starting oxidation reactions, preventing those reactions from occuring.

Roudybush is committed to providing your birds with the best possible food. Any changes they make to their formulations are thoroughly researched and only made when the data shows them there is a clear advantage. So what is fascinating is that after a few months on Roudybush pellets, you'll notice a physical and emotional difference in your pet's health. Aviculturists and Veterinarians seem to be able to infer a lot about a bird's health by its plumage so I think it is pretty reasonable to correlate that this parrot shown in the picture below not only appears visibly better, but is healthier as well. Not only are the stress bars gone, but the plumage is brighter, crisper, and cleaner looking.

No Food Colouring

All natural ingredients! Ever wonder why Roudybush foods are not coloured? Roudybush is proud to provide your pet with healthy food that is good for them, with ingredients their bodies require, not food that is appealing to our human eyes. That is why Roudybush only uses high quality ingredients and never add food colourings or sugar.

What does this mean for you and your pet?

It means that when you purchase Roudybush you know you are providing your bird the best possible nutrition so they can live their lives to the fullest. All Roudybush products are sold in factory sealed packages to maintain freshness.

When you switch your pet bird to Roudybush, feed as a sole diet. There is no need to give additional vitamins or mineral supplements. Healthy treats may be given in moderate amounts if desired. Roudybush are available in different size pellets to accomodate different species:
