Brand: RoudyBush

Color: Natural

Features:

• CROP MILK REPLACEMENT: Designed to resemble the natural nourishment parent doves and pigeons provide to their squabs, this formula supports feeding during the earliest days after hatching. Created by Tom Roudybush, Squab Diet offers a smooth blend suited for young Columbiformes from day one through roughly 7–14 days, depending on species size and progression.
• SPECIALIZED FOR PIGEONS & DOVES: Unlike general hand-feeding formulas typically used for other bird groups, Squab Diet is created with ingredients and proportions suited to doves and pigeons. Its blend is made to resemble the natural feeding approach of parent birds, offering a smooth option for hand-rearing squabs during their earliest days. This formula provides a straightforward choice for caregivers working with young birds.
• IDEAL FOR REHABILITATORS: A practical choice for wildlife rehabilitators caring for orphaned doves and pigeons, as well as aviculturists hand-rearing breeding stock or show birds. Squab Diet was developed using dedicated research flocks, giving caregivers a consistent, carefully formulated option during the earliest period for these species.
• TRANSITION TO FORMULA 3: Use Squab Diet from day one through 7-14 days, depending on species size—smaller doves transition around day 7, while larger pigeons continue until day 14. After this period, gradually switch to Roudybush Formula 3 over 1-2 days, increasing the proportion of Formula 3 at each feeding. This phased approach matches the natural dietary progression as squabs mature and their nutritional needs shift, ensuring smooth development throughout the hand-rearing process.
• DECADES OF EXPERIENCE IN BIRD NUTRITION: Roudybush offers a broad range of pellet diets, hand-feeding formulas, nectar blends, and specialty options suited to birds of many sizes and feeding habits. From everyday maintenance diets to more unique blends, the lineup provides choices that help keep daily feeding routines straightforward and consistent for bird owners seeking reliable options for their companions.
