Tasty and the perfect proportions

For years, I've been giving my parrots Lafeber's Nutri-Berries b/c I don't have to worry about the quality of them nor the nutritional value of them. Also, they seem to be the perfect proportions for large and mid-size parrots. The gourmet ones make good treats and fun surprises to hide in their food dishes and toys. They're a skosh pricey sometimes, though this seems to vary depending on the variety and time of year.

good food for parrots!

5 stars but it is very expensive... the parrots love these! I give them one a day in their "seed and nuts" dish and they always go to THIS first! I will keep buying it once a month ! My very fussy double yellow headed amazon loves this !!!! Hard to change a 45 year olds eating behavior, but this is something that he has just discovered he loves, making him more curious to try other things! This and Avi-Cakes, every day!

A Great Parrot Food Delivered In A Less Than Desired Condition

Socrates, our Tinmeh Grey Parrot, has been on various Nutri-Berry formulas for a few years now. Evidently she ( was supposed to be a "he", hence the name) wasn't getting the proper nutrition from our prior feeding program. Our vet highly recommended Lafeber Nutri-Berries to us both for the nutrition and the extra effort it takes for her to get to the seed. Twice a day we feed her a different variety to mix it up a bit. We had never tried the El Paso blend so I was surprised when I bought a small bag and she took to it like I go after a good steak. The price on this 3 pound bag is great but I was disappointed by the fact that most of the berries were stuck to each other in one big mass. I don't know if this results from sealing them up before they adequately dry out or if improper storage and/or shipment causes this to happen. IT WOULD BE NICE IF LAFEBER WOULD ADDRESS AND FIX THIS PROBLEM! However there is a simple solution. First, do not open the bag. Just drop it either on a hard counter top or floor, pick it up and drop it again on one side, then pick it up once more and drop it on the other side. This causes the Nutri-Berries to separate without damaging anything. I learned this trick from buying bags of ice that must have begun to melt and then were refrozen. Works for ice, works for these Nutri-Berries.

Helped our female parakeet

We have a female yellow parakeet with red eyes. Her cere (part above beak) was becoming overgrown. I did some research and found out that female birds not getting a proper amount of fruit seeds can have too much estrogen and one of the side effects is the overgrown cere. Lafeber was a brand many people had suggested as having a great blend of nutritious ingredients. We purchased a bag and our parakeet loves it! We do have to break it up before serving it to her. I put it in a bucket and just mash it with a meat tenderiser. That ballgame has it up enough that she'll eat it like normal food. After only a month, her cere is dramatically better, she's breathing much easier, and just all around looks healthier. She'll probably eventually eat the food in the cubed form, but for now breaking it up works fine.

Tumi approved!

Tumi (Pacific Parrotlet) HIGHLY recommends these! Even at his tiny size, he gobbles these down. They are a great bonding treat, as they can easily be handfed. He seems to like this flavor, and I like the ingredients list. For those unfamiliar with parrotlets, his beak is the size of a small cockatiel beak but a bit stronger while his body is smaller than a parakeet by a bit. He does great with the full-size parrot ones.

My cockatiels loved this treat

My cockatiels were startled by the packaging (they're used to getting treats from plastic storage tubs instead if crinkly plastic bags) but once they got over that they gobbled the treats as fast as their little beaks could pull them apart. They seem to like these larger parrot-sized Nutriberries better than the smaller cockatiel/budgie size I normally buy. I'll have to try the garden veggie flavor next.

Pionus approved!

Our rescue pionus was eating another variety of Nutriberries when with his foster mom. She had mentioned how much he enjoyed red peppers, so these seemed like a natural choice. BINGO! He absolutely inhales these. He eats at least 15-20 each day, in addition to fresh food and other pelleted diets. These are hands down his favorite and the first thing he eats. He came to us a 20g underweight and he is steadily gaining with El Paso Nutriberries. I love the convenience of ordering them on Amazon because we don't have any stores that carry them within a reasonable driving distance and definitely not at a price point and quantity that matches his appetite!

Healthy, consistent quality. Bird loves it.

My picky Blue Crown Conure loves Nutri-berries. Although he will eat "human food" as a supplement to these round seed-pellet-veggie balls, this bird food is his main diet. He is 12 years old (not yet middleaged) and his plumage is shiny with vibrant color. He is energetic and the vet has given him a clean bill of health at each checkup. The down side is that he normally takes 2 or 3 bites out of each ball and then tosses it to the bottom of the cage. Conures hold food in their foot and nibble, so I guess the balls fall apart after a few bites, not really his fault. But he will not each the broken up Nutri berrie that comes in each package. I have to pass those along to someone who has a bird used to eating directly out of the dish without needing to hold each ball separately. . Still I love this bird food. He also eats the other flavors, mainly the vegetable ones. It stays fresh for quite a long time, does not smell bad, and the bird loves it. I don't see us changing bird food because its good to trust one brand and keep buying it. The price on Amazon is always cheaper than at my local store. Thanks Amazon.

Would You Rather Pay $9.00 Per Pound Or $6.45 Per Pound

We have been buying 3 pound bags of El Paso Nutriberries for our African Grey for the past 24 years. She gets the El Paso berries at night and the Classic Nutri-Berries in the mornings. She loves them both and seems to like changing it up each day. These became our 'go to' food after we had problems with the prior brand. This box came well packed with fresh product sealed in a large ziplock type bag. It's nice that the bag is resealable to help keep the food fresh and bug free. We use two of the old Classic plastic tubs marked "AM" and "PM" to differentiate the two types and keep a tub of each in a kitchen cupboard. The 20 lb boxes are kept in air conditioned storage. Over time the difference in price mounts up quite nicely -- as long as we do our part in keeping the berries fresh and uncontaminated.

Socrates Wants A Nutri-Berry

When our Timneh Gray Parrot got stressed out and started plucking her chest feathers, our vet recommended that we change a few things to eliminate the undesired behavior. First off, he wanted us to change her food to give her better nutrition, so he recommended several varieties of Lafever Nutri-Berries to provide some variety. Since parrots spend 90% of their time in the wild foraging for food, they need some additional activities when they are raised in a cage. I usually add in other seeds and nuts to make her work a little harder by sorting through her food bowl. He also suggested that we provide at least one daily feeding of fresh fruit and veggies to hedge our bets and give her more variety. In addition, he suggested that we rotate her toys to keep her from being bored, and he encouraged us to put in a fresh cardboard box each day so that she could shred it and use up some of her energy. The final suggestion was to mist her with clean water each day in case she felt itchy and/or dirty. I'm happy to say that the combination of these changes has prevented her from resuming her plucking. She's happier and talking more again. We're just glad that she feels better. PS: We supposedly bought a male parrot but the eggs being laid point obviously to a female. She has also switched her allegiance from me to my wife, proving once again that "birds of a feather flock together".
