Roudybush Daily Maintenance Bird Food, Small, 10-Pound

Review Body: Product: 2 stars • I have embarked on a marvelous voyage into the world of parrot nutrition, thanks to the Daily Maintenance Mini Pellets that I have been feeding my parrot for several years now. • These pellets are specially steam-pelleted by a mysterious and ingenious process, that preserves the essential nutrients and eliminates the dangerous bacteria that may infest the raw seeds and grains. • They also contain no artificial colors, flavors, or animal by-products that may poison your bird’s health or alter its natural character. • They provide a balanced and complete diet for your parrot, ensuring its optimal growth, development, and well-being. • Unlike some other parrots, mine seems to love the apple flavor very much, and she devours her food eagerly. She even makes a happy sound that sounds like beep boop or brrr brrr. I guess she has a sweet tooth. Or should I say, a sweet beak? Customer Support/Service: 2 stars • I have had a wonderful experience with the customer support team of this product. • They were prompt, courteous, and helpful when I contacted them with a query about the product’s ingredients and benefits. • They also followed up with me to make sure I was happy with my purchase and to offer me some tips and advice on how to feed my parrot properly. • They showed a genuine interest and care for me and my bird, and I appreciate their professionalism and kindness. • They also sent me a complimentary parrot toy as a token of their gratitude, which my parrot loves to play with. She especially likes to chew on the colorful feathers and make a mess. Shipping: 1 star • The shipping was fast and free as advertised. • The product arrived in excellent condition and was well-packaged and sealed. • I had no issues with the delivery or the product’s quality. • The package also included a personalized note from the seller, thanking me for my purchase and wishing me and my bird a happy and healthy life. It was a nice touch, and I felt appreciated as a customer. Final Written Review: I give this product 5 stars because it is a marvelous voyage into the world of parrot nutrition. I have researched the best diet for parrots, and I have found that seeds and grains are not the best for parrots as they can affect their health due to irritations in their stomachs which lead to a whole host of issues. My parrot has been eating only this product for several years now, and knock on wood, she has had no health issues and is happy and healthy as well as attentive. This product is specially steam-pelleted by a mysterious and ingenious process, that preserves the essential nutrients and eliminates the dangerous bacteria that may infest the raw seeds and grains. It has no artificial colors, flavors, or animal by-products that may poison your bird’s health or alter its natural character. It provides a balanced and complete diet for your parrot, ensuring its optimal growth, development, and well-being. Unlike some other parrots, mine seems to love the apple flavor very much, and she devours her food eagerly. She even makes a happy sound that sounds like beep boop or brrr brrr.

It is a marvelous voyage into the world of parrot nutrition. You will not regret it. And to quote a famous talking Parrot, beep boop and brrr brrr to you for reading my review. :)

My three conures adore this food and on top of the usual veggies it's kept them super healthy with amazing feather quality. Decent price, too - I get this food in ten pound bags and it lasts me about 2 months. It smells good and the bag closes to keep it fresh.

My African Grey loves this maintenance food by RoudyBush!! I think it’s the best food out there and size and shape is just right for Pepper! I like everything about it and the maintenance kind is so economical too. Pepper likes this food and the smells of vitamins and minerals added to the finest ingredients he needs to grow and flourish must excite him. He eats all evidence and cleans his dish.

My Cockatiel and Parakeet both are healthier since I started adding RoudyBush Daily Maintenance to their diet. they were not interested at first, but by mixing it in a little bit at a time they got used to it and began loving it. It is not 1/2 of their diet and so much better than pure seed.

This is the only bird food we feed our Indian ringneck, and he absolutely loves it. I’ve tried other brands in the past and he always picked around them, but he eats this one with no problem at all. The pellets are a good size, the quality seems consistent, and it keeps him healthy and happy. We buy it regularly and always keep a spare bag on hand.

I am allergic to a lot of grass pollens, and real grain or seed-based diets set off my allergies (its not the feathers, its the pollen and dust from the feed!). This pelleted food impressed me as being healthier for both me, and my birds. Parrots really should not be eating a lot of seeds, or the mainly seed-based diets, because that is not their natural diet and some of them eat too much of it (too high in starch) and become malnourished. Actually, they like to crack the shells of seeds and that is probably why some parrots go crazy for seed-based bird foods - and become unhealthy. Sort of like humans and buttered popcorn, potato chips and dips. :) This is a high quality pelleted parrot food, and they eat almost every bit (some dust or bits spilled outside the cage are lost, but nothing like all the shells on the floor, or the claw-fulls of fancy colored pellets that one of my birds likes to throw - like a little baseball pitcher). If I don't have time to give them fresh or cooked treats, they can thrive on this pelleted food alone and never tire of it. So it is clean, easy to feed, approved by all my birds, and is reasonably priced - -no more than some of the other brands. Their feathers shine and have wonderful color after a few months on this feed. I like it that Tom Roudybush did his graduate studies at UC Davis at the famous animal nutrition department, and then set out to produce one of the most wholesome but reasonably-priced commercial bird foods. It still outperforms the other pellets, even if it doesn't look like eye-candy in the bowl. It is minimally processed, wholesome, and apparently tasty to parrots. The medium sized pellets are meant for my amazon and pionus parrots, but sometimes they like the small or mini which are more "seed sized" and sometimes even the smaller birds enjoy gnawing on the larger sizes. It is funny to see a small bird clutching a chunk of large pellet in one foot and gnawing at it. BTW, if your bird is not used to pelleted food, and you want to get it to eat a new food, introduce very gradually. Also, empty the dish every day -- you don't want to find that the dish was full of shells of other seeds plus pellets, and your bird is going hungry because it refuses the strange new pellet. You might clean the dish in the morning and put just a few pellets in as a treat in the morning - -some birds pick them up as toys. Later in the day, add a day's worth of their old food on top of the pellets -- if any are left. For some birds, you might want to gradually increase pellets (only after signs that the bird does pick up and nibble at pellets) very very slowly, over a month or so, while decreasing the other foods. You might smear a tiny bit of peanut butter on a medium or large pellet and offer it as a "toy" (sneaky, but effective, if your bird likes peanut butter, as most parrots do). When your parrot clearly sees this as a special treat, you can then switch to this as its new food more quickly. My birds were raised with all sorts of foods, so are not picky, but given a choice, now will pick out the Roudybush pellets and eat them first! Fun to watch them hurrying to the food bowl and lingering over a size that fits nicely in their claw when they want to pick something up to eat as "hand food." :) I have not been able to buy Roudybush locally,and just bought a small bag to tide us over until next week when I will order a 10 lb bag.

Good healthy ingredients, my parrot loves it!

My birds like the product but the Co.pany messes up my suscriptikn and you cannotvreturn it.

The pellets are breaking into small particles and powder when my bird bites them. Half of the food is spilling out and getting wasted. I suggest even small pellets for medium and small birds. I think the taste is okay as my bird is eating well.

量が多くてグラム単価がお得です

ウチの子に何種類か食べさせたかったので、この商品初めて注文しました。結構食いつき良かったです。他のペレットより粉っぽいのが多かったのですが、初めての商品なので判別出来ず笑 また注文するかもです。

My african likes it

Need a bit of time to get the budgies off the seed diet but if they won’t eat fruit and veg this is the food
