Nutri berries

Are nutri Berries high in sugar?

Hi Paula,

No, Nutri-Berries do not contain sugar. They do contain a low dextrose form of corn syrup, which is added as a structural ingredient as part of the binder to help them retain their round shape. It does not add any flavor or sweetness. There is a lot of misinformation out there about sugar for parrots. Please watch this short clip where Dr. Lafeber, DVM, discusses sugar in a parrot’s diet.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,

Brenda
