I’ve read a lot lately about soy and Roudybush
As soy in it according to ingredients shall I totally avoid roudybush remi prefers it but will eat Hagen tropical

which is best or should I order some Harrison’s and try him on them are they the best

might be just timing but he’s been back on roudybush for four days and today he was very nippy grumpy but then he’s coming upto 7months not sure this means anything to a gcc though hormones wise etc or if he was just having an off day which we are allowed haha :rofl:

Little Remi is growing up…
I haven’t fed Roudybush but I think Harrison’s is a step up from the Zupreem Lucy liked (since I couldn’t always feed the little princess TOPS).
i think unless your bird has a food allergy the best pellet is the one your bird will eat. And I stay away from the colored fruity pebbles pellets because they make the poop stain.

The best pellet is the one your bird will eat, does well on, and that fits your budget. :)

They have discontinued all the fruit pellets in the UK now. It is something to do with the coloring. Amazon and the big pet stores can't get it from their suppliers anymore.
It's sad because Dolly and Frankie both loved it. More so Dolly. Frankie loves Harrison's.

I know humans who have reproductive issues or cancer sometimes avoid soy products; I don’t know if it’s a concern with birds.

I'm not bothered about the soy content personally.

Out of the two? Harrison's because it's organic and my birds actually eat it lol

When I sent you all those tempting pictures from Zoar's Ark, they informed me they couldn't get it anymore and explained why.

I tried Harrisons, and no one would touch it. Such a waste of money :arghh:

If I had a bird with a reproductive cancer or egg issue I might well avoid soy.

Willow loves his Harrison’s, though he’d probably like the high potency diet better. And Jasper will eat zupreem or Harrison’s. Thank goodness she is a great eater!

Burt loved roudybush so much, from the first second he grabbed a pellet. I fed harrisons for quite a while after roudybush was no longer available here and it was quite reluctantly eaten and even the wild birds were less interested in the harrisons pellets which mostly got thrown on the floor- they would pick all the other pellets out of the waste before eating the harrisons which were often left on the ground for the dog lol

I did start Willow with the fatty yummy high potency Harrison’s diet. The small pellets were similar looking to seeds so I thought with his suspicions about new things they might be accepted better.

Sprite and Marshmallow love Harrison's, and sometimes even choose it over seeds. I wonder if maybe the pellet size is an issue for some birds? I've tried feeding them the fine and the super fine pellets. They love super fine, but they wouldn't even touch the fine.

I do wish they had more sizes. Ripley would prefer a bigger one I think

I thought the same, and broke it up to smaller pieces - Isadora was very clear about her feelings, and Tteok is usually a garbage disposal with pellets, and he wouldn't touch them at all
