LAFEBER'S Classic Nutri-Berries Pet Bird Food, Made with Non-GMO and Human-Grade Ingredients, for Parrots, 3.25 lb

I have bought this item several times. It is healthy for my African Gray bird that only eats this. As a treat and also as full of right vitamins for his feathers. Never a waste.

I have been using these as a treat for years, never recognizing that they claim to be balanced in their own. My parrots get fresh fruits and veggies daily as well as multiple types of nuts, numerous brands of pellets, and dried fruits and veggies. My one parrot prefers these over many of the extensive foods offered daily. Both like to hold them. The downside is that they do crumble when they eat them, and since they have some kind of molasses or honey to hold them together they sometims stick together in the tub. There are often crumbs on the bottom, but i use those for the birds and squirrels outside, who also love them, but if you had a small bird you would just put them in the bowl.

They are fresh, right size for a caique, she loves them we give them to her in the morning and evening, nice quantity so we don't run out. Arrives quickly we have been ordering theese for years. Good quality treat.Goodvalue for the money.

This is another Lafeber product that we use to change up our African Grey's diet. Our prior success from using the Nutri-Berry formulas has helped us keep Socrates happy and healthy for about 20 years. It might have even changed her sex (just kidding) since she was sold to us as a male (hence the name) but has occasionally laid eggs for us. Evidently sexing Greys is not an easy or exact process.Thankfully she loves the Lafeber parrot foods in all the various offerings. She gets a healthy mix of veggies and fruits every day as well as periodic servings of some of the Nutri-Berry formulas during the day. Her favorite treat seems to be a long string of spaghetti, something that is tasty and proves challenging to eat. We often place the Nutri-Berries in various spots in her cage, using toys and small empty boxes to hide them.The berries are also a pretty good delivery system if we ever have to give her medicine. When she contracted a bacterial infection we were able to get the medicine into her by coating her berries with the prescribed amount of medicine. This may not work in extreme cases (please check with your vet) but it does avoid the stress and potential trauma of removing her from her cage and using a syringe to put the medicine in her beak. Feeling unwell can make your bird agitated and aggressive even if their normal personality is calm and accepting. Having an alternative way to avoid injury to your bird and/or yourself is important.Please remember that African Greys spend 90% of their time in the wild foraging for food. Since giving them food directly every day takes the mystery and effort out of sourcing their food, consider making it more interesting/challenging for her/him to seek it out. Hide their food in small paper bags, boxes or toys. Give them half of an apple to pick at and tear apart. Make sure that they have cardboard boxes or paper towel cylinders to shred. It's also beneficial to have a radio or TV on whenever you are not in the same room with them. In fact, for some reason, our Socrates speaks more often when we are in another room. Perhaps that is her signal that she wants us to come back.

Good

The birds loved it

I read the reviews. Was nervous about ordering because of the mix of reviews. The bucket arrived intact and all the clusters are perfectly shaped. My African grey is not a fan of the actual treat, but quality of product was spot on. Only gave it a 4/5 because she doesn't like them

I order this parrot food every 3 weeks. This was the first time I received a bucket where the berries were dry rotted. They were so dry and old that when I opened the bin there were very few clumps of berries as the whole bucket was pulverized seeds. They all dumped out in a poder form instead of pellets. My bird won't eat scrap seeds, she only eats them in the berry form. I want my money back for this bucket, this is way too much money to spend and she can't even eat them. They seem super old :(Please send a replacement bucket asap.Lainie
