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

You know the way your macaw holds a walnut in his foot and relishes each bite he takes? Or how your cockatoo waves her favorite treat around in her foot, as if showing it off for all to see? Imagine seeing your bird this happy over a nutritionally balanced food you can offer as a main diet or as a healthy treat. Macaw & Cockatoo Nutri-Berries are sized right to give your large bird something he can really sink his beak into. The round, textured, berry shape is designed for your parrot to hold and pull apart to eat; a simple yet effective way to promote foot health and to offer a variety of beak and tongue sensations vital to his behavioral needs.

The Lafeber difference is that we’ve perfected a way to nutritionally balance our foods without sacrificing taste and texture the way regular pellets do. Macaw & Cockatoo Nutri-Berries have all the essential vitamins and minerals, but instead of being ground up and put into a pellet form, the hulled seeds and grains are left whole. Macaw & Cockatoo Nutri-Berries also contain 16.5% pellets bound together with wholesome ingredients, and they are coated with chelated minerals for better absorption and stabilized vitamins for better longevity.

Most of the seeds and grains in Nutri-Berries are kept whole because Dr. Lafeber discovered how to nutritionally balance them without grinding, and hulling them keeps the nutrition right where it belongs — in each and every bite. We also balance the Omega 3 & 6 fatty acids to boost your bird’s immune system and to promote healthy skin and feathers. Our foods are naturally preserved and free of artificial colors, so you can feel good about offering them to your parrot.

 

Feeding Instructions

Serve small Parrots (Senegals, Caiques, etc.) 10 berries at a time. Medium Parrots (African Greys, Amazons) 15 berries at a time. Large Parrots (Macaws, large Cockatoos) 20 berries at a time. For all birds, continue to keep a fresh supply of food and water available at all times. These are average amounts and will vary for each individual bird. Monitor your bird’s weight and adjust the amounts accordingly.

What is the difference between Nutri-Berries, Avi-Cakes, and Pellets?

All are nutritionally complete foods 

Nutri-Berries

  • Offer twice the foraging of pellets
  • Are in a ball shape, which is easy to pick up with feet

Avi-Cakes

  • Square shape encourages foraging instincts to hold, pull, twist, and crunch
  • 50% pellets, which make them an ideal seed conversion food

Pellets

  • Are uniform in size and shape

Nutri-Berries are nutritionally equivalent to pellets: In a study performed at the University of California at Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, Nutri-Berries were found to be nutritionally equivalent to pellets; however, birds on Nutri-Berries spent twice as much time in feeding-related activities.

Great Food!!!
2 Macaws love this. When they finish with the balls, I throw the remainder outside for Doves. They're always waiting. Great stuff. None goes to waste.

Nutri-Berries and Avicakes
I regularly use Avicakes and Nutriberries to feed my African Grey and Cockatoo. I let them out of their cages in the morning for a little while then call out “Who wants an Avicake?” And they both crawl back into the cages. Since I started ordering directly from Lafaber I haven’t had any freshness issues.

All of my Macaws and my one Cockatoo Have been eating Nutriberries for years. The Nutriberries are given as a treat though, and not part of their everyday diet.

Excellent food
My Macaws love this food. They have it everyday. They love both the nutriberries and the pellets. I mix them together with some other things and they eat it up.

All of the food my birds get is human grade. Can not even get bird food from a pet store without getting moths. LaFeber is the only brand that I trust for my birds. They love Nutri-berries, I like buying direct from LaFeber. Malcom and Misty have loved Nutri-berries from way back when they were $45 a 20 pound box.
