Tropical Fruit Nutri-Berries Macaw & Cockatoo

ropical Fruit Nutri-Berries for Macaws combine whole seeds and grains with real pieces of pineapple, papaya, and mango, along with 26% pellets to give your bird balanced nutrition without sacrificing taste or texture. All of these wholesome ingredients are rolled together in a berry shape perfectly sized for your macaw or cockatoo to hold in his foot so he can relish each bite.Instead of all the seeds and grains being ground down into a pelleted form, the ingredients in Tropical Fruit Nutri-Berries are left mostly whole to give your bird the flavors and textures pellets lack. And, unlike vitamin- and mineral-fortified seed mixes that essentially lose their health benefits once the bird cracks open the seed, we hull our seeds and grains and then coat each berrie with essential vitamins and minerals. This ensures that your bird receives balanced nutrition in every bite he takes. We also use chelated minerals for better absorption, stabilized vitamins for better longevity, and we naturally preserve and flavor our foods.The Lafeber difference is in the hulling. A seed mix might be coated with vitamin and minerals, but as soon as the bird cracks the seed, the nutrition is lost along with the empty seed hull. By hulling the seed and grains and then adding essential vitamins and minerals, Nutri-Berries keeps the nutrition right where it belongs — in each and every bite. Cockatiel Nutri-Berries also add 8% pellets to the taste and texture mix, and they are sized to appeal to cockatiels, as well as quaker parrots, Indian ringnecks, Neophemas, and other small birds.

Classic Nutri-Berries are nutritionally balanced like pellets, just not ground up. Both pellets and Nutri-Berries contain seeds and grains. In pellets, they are finely ground before being formed into a pellet. Most of the seeds and grains in Nutri-Berries are kept whole because Dr. Lafeber discovered how to nutritionally balance them without grinding them down, leaving the taste and textures in a more natural form that birds find appealing. 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 cockatiel or other small- to medium-sized bird.
