Wombaroo Food Products was founded by Brian & Roslyn Rich. Brian is an industrial biochemist and worked in the pharmaceutical industry as a production and product development manager. Roslyn was a hospital scientist, specialising in microbiology and haematology. In 1976 they established a research laboratory to investigate the nutritional and energetic requirements of native birds, in particular honeyeaters and lorikeets. In 1982 the laboratory was relocated from Sydney to Adelaide and with the involvement of local veterinarians and Adelaide institutions, research was extended into the nutritional requirements of juvenile marsupials. This ground-breaking work led to the foundation of Wombaroo Food Products in 1984. Brian continues his work as an honorary researcher at the Adelaide Zoo Animal Health Centre
