How to use the Roudybush Rice Diet
If your bird is already eating a pelletized or extruded diet, switching it to Roudybush Rice Diet should be simple. Just mix the Rice Diet with the old diet and gradually decrease the old diet.
Complete, or formulated diets are “balanced” as the bird must eat the nutrients in the ratio intended. MIXED diets (seeds, fruits, and table foods) are much harder to balance and require the time-consuming use of a supplement. SEED diets are invariably low in calcium and vitamin A and high in fat and phosphorous.
A simple and SAFE way to convert most pets to a better diet is to start by cleaning the cage each evening, and leaving ONLY Tropican in the feeders (I may sprinkle some on the floor or place a small dish on the floor as well).
I am getting this so I can stay warm. Editor’s note: we don’t know what bird food your bird will like any more than if you are a fan of “Transparent”, “Scandal” or “The Walking Dead” on Netflix.

Your recent email suggests it is safe to feed a parrot grapes. In actuality grapes are sprayed with enough pesticides to quickly kill a bird.
Even organic grapes are dangerous to feed to your bird due to the lack of regulation on the use of the word “Organic”.

Hi,
I have two American parakeets and two Bourkes parakeets, both male and female, non-breeding pairs. I want to optimize their health without encouraging breeding.
They are both excellent food for your bird. Harrison's has USDA organic going for it Roudybush has no peanuts Harrison's does. Roudybush also has a little variety now in that they recently…
I have 3 adorable, baby Congo African Greys that I am hand-feeding. They are only 6 weeks old so I am accepting deposits. My babies are top quality, raised with the best of care and come with a 3 week written health guarantee.
Choosing a reputable breeder with whom you trust and feel comfortable with is as important as finding the perfect baby parrot. My knowledge, experience, accessibility and client commitment are what set me apart.
Good Morning Catherine,
Debra here with a concern as to my past orders. I noticed that you did not advertise my African Grey’s Bulk Food (20lb) in the Volkman Avian Science Parrot Food -“No Sunflower Seeds”.
Are you still selling this item as you know my parrot has become quite the fan of the Volkman No Sunflower Seed brand.
