VETERINARIAN RECOMMENDED

From Renowned Avian Veterinarian Dr. Scott Echols

There’s a couple reasons that I prefer the Lafeber products, and one is that the company has been around for over 50 years and actually was started by a veterinarian, Dr. Ted Lafeber Sr., and the current veterinarian — his son, Dr. Ted Lafeber Jr. — is now running the products and the company. So we still have continuity, and they have a long-standing, great reputation with products. Another is that they use human-grade ingredients. In fact, they grow a lot of their ingredients. And that’s important to me, because I am looking for product quality.

Description

Product Description

Looking for a fun, easy way to get your parakeet, lovebird, cockatiel, conure, or other small bird off of a mostly seed diet and onto a nutritious food he’ll love? Avi-Cakes were made with your bird in mind! We collaborated with top avian veterinarians, nutritionists, and behavioral consultants to create a recipe that gives your bird the best of both worlds — taste and texture, and solid nutrition, too.

Avi-Cakes is a special blend of premium seeds mixed 50-50 with nutritionally balanced pellets made from non-GMO ingredients, all held together with a great-tasting molasses binder. Its square shape is designed for your bird to hold and pull part — the perfect “work-and-chew-food” to bring out foraging instincts. Your bird might pick and choose his way through a loose seed mix, but he’ll pull, stretch, crunch, and twist his way through Avi-Cakes and consume better nutrition along the way.

Avi-Cake nutrition matches that of most pelleted diets, so it can be fed as a main diet. It also makes the perfect “bridge” food to wean your bird off of seeds and onto pellets, which small birds are especially likely to resist. Avi-Cakes has 50% pellets, so many birds will eat pellets after eating Avi-Cakes.

Our foods are Omega 3 & 6 balanced to promote a healthy immune system and improve skin and feather quality, and they are naturally preserved and flavored. All the seeds and grains in Avi-Cakes are hand-inspected for cleanliness and freshness. Our equipment has been specially designed for just making bird food. We make small batches of food to ensure the best quality possible. Each batch is laboratory tested. Finally, each Avi-Cake is hand-packed. It takes a lot of work to make a great product, but we believe the results are worth it!

Lafeber is the Best!
My nearly 14-yo lovebird goes crazy when he sees the red bag of Avicakes! He loves his daily treat, and I'm happy he's eating something good for him. He likes the variety of Lafeber But fiber ties as well. So thank you for what you do to keep all the birds you feed healthy and happy. Blessings!

Wonderfully fresh and a delight to work with in prepping for storage. Our two cockatiels love these and we love our cockatiels and that these make for happy healthy tiels! The customer service rep we spoke with was a delight as well. Thank you all so much!

Pumpkin Spice Avicakes
My 44-year-old African Grey loves this new product! He gets very excited when he sees them come out of the package and go into his food cup. He enjoys these every day along with his regular Avicakes. He has been eating these for many years. Thanks for a wonderful and healthy product for my boy!

Best Bird Food
Lafeber Avi-Cakes is a healthy mixed pellet and seed product that my birds absolutely love. It is very healthy for them and my birds eat every last bit. They've all been it their entire lives with me and are very healthy. Highly recommend!

Nutrition Boost
My parrots have all lived well beyond their statistical life expectancies. I credit two things: a varied diet that has always included Nutri Berries and Lava Cakes, and exercise (fully flighted). Thank you.

I credit Lafeber Avi-cakes and Daily pellets with my 27 year old cockatiel’s longevity. He is an old man and he still talks, eats heartily and is interested in his surroundings. Thank you!
