All of the Roudybush 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. For more information about his
work and specific science, consult
the bird brain.
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.
Here
we have pulled out various facts from some of

Some Interesting Science
Facts
The responses of the chicks to
increased levels of protein in the diet suggests
that 12% protein is less than the requirement
for maximum growth. Read
More
For rapid growth cockatiel
chicks require 20% protein, but if eventual
adult weight is used as the criterion, nutrient
requirements must be set lower, possibly less
than 15% protein. Read
More
This fairly high requirement is
not easily met by seeds alone, thus lysine is a
nutrient that is marginal in many diets for
breeding cockatiels that are feeding chicks. Read
More
hatchability decreased within
treatment groups as storage time increased Read
More
Chloramine used as disinfectant
at 1.5 ppm (parts per million) in municipal
water supplies has been suggested to be a cause
of leg weakness in growing psittacine birds. Read
More
the uniform and dramatic
increase observed in two successive trials
suggests that environmental manipulation per se
may substantially improve reproductive
performance in captive cockatiels. Read
