Roudybush Maintenance Medium 4.5kg

Along with fresh vegetables this provides the bulk of my two parrots' diet. Unlike other pellets this is something they will actually eat. My avian vet gives them annual blood work that has only confirmed their health resulting from a good diet.

I bought this for my green winged macaw because her other food went up $20 and I wanted something a little less expensive. Despite what some people said about their birds rejecting it I decided to try it anyways. It had a good pellet size, smelled good and had a nice crumble factor to it. My bird usually dives into her other food but only ate a little bit of it when I put it in her dish. Usually she eats all her food by 5 pm which is her second feeding time. There were pellets left over. I waited a few days for her to get used to it but she never did. I did not want her to go to many more days without eating so I broke down and despite the cost bought her, her old food which is what I will keep her on from now on. I have nothing negative to say about this product except you have a 50/50 chance of your bird liking it. I didnt want this to go to waste so I gave it to my friend who owns a bunch of parrots.

Great pellets for parrots, nice price. It had a little more pellet crumbs in this delivery.

Love Roudybush for our 2 Sun Conures and 2 Caiques. It is simply the best researched, best quality product for your feathered friends. Zupreem is also solid, though having tried both, I'd say our birds prefer the Roudybush and seem to be healthier and happier when we feed it to them. At the very least it's reassuring that this is the food several respected breeders and aviaries use. It's also been scientifically formulated and researched over the years, and has been shown to increase lifespan by as much as 10 years over seed-based diets.That said, do not buy PrettyBird -- which is cheap poor quality. And do not expect your birds to love it if you've been feeding them seed. It will take time to transition them over, but they will adjust in time. Starting with RB as a mix-in and increasing the proportion daily is a good way. We also found that letting our Sun sit in the bag and dig in it worked well -- as funny as that is. We used to do all seed (thinking this was the right thing to do) and learned later how important it is to balance our birds diets with more organic (non-seed foods). Now we use mostly Roudybush and fresh fruit daily, with just a small amount of seed (either as a treat some days, or as a mix in -- though we've found that mixing the two is sometimes counter productive as one of our Suns will dump all the pellets on the floor of the cage trying to get the seed).One note -- this medium size can work for Caiques and Conures (esp if you have the kind who like to crunch things up), but we find the smaller size suits our birds better. Just good to know you can buy this in a pinch if the small size is out of stock when you need it.
