Review on 🐦 Nutri-Berries 3 lb by Parrot El Paso by Jerry Mangum

I first tried these Lafeber Nutri-Berries over 10 years ago. At first I bought smaller bags because I didn't know how well my parrots would take something new. However, to my surprise and delight, each of my birds chewed and ate three or four of those round nuggets that were in their bowl, including all of my picky eaters. Every time I've bought Lafeber Nutri-Berries I've tried a different flavor and out of the variety of Lafeber Nutri-Berries there are four different flavors that each of my parrots love. This universal recognition among all my pet parrots makes it easier for me to feed them. Also, it allows me to switch between different flavors as sometimes they need a flavor change. So, switching from different fruits to other veggies keeps them interested and prevents them from getting bored with these tasty and nutritious treats. Some of the many benefits of Nutri-Berries are: 1. Nutri-Berries are 100% edible, no seed coats and therefore no waste.2. Most seeds and grains are NOT crushed, providing better nutrition.3. NO artificial flavors or colors, so the green and red pieces are real peppers and NOT something artificial that might look like vegetables. Nutriberries contain the nutrients found in pellets and as my birds refuse to eat pellets this alternative is perfect to supplement along with their daily seed diet of cooked and fresh vegetables. Most of my parrots love to hold and eat Nutri-Berries in their claws, so in round shapes they are comfortable and easy to hold.6. Ready to serve right out of the box, so no further preparation is required. Serving Suggestions: While Nutri Berries are ready to eat straight from the packet, I use a variety of methods to keep things interesting. 1. I sometimes serve these Nutri-Berries as an evening treat in a separate bowl from their overnight seed ration. Each parrot gets 3 Nutri-Berries along with a whole inshell walnut that I split in half. Alternatively, I can substitute almonds for the walnuts and then add a slice of apple, a large juicy grape, and/or a whole fresh carrot. It's just their evening snack, unlike their morning fresh meal. However, it keeps her calm and content while I finish my evening rounds with fresh water and a quick vacuum to clear the seeds from the soil. I also use Nutri-Berries in my own bird seed mix. I mix 1 cup of Nutri-Berries with 1 cup of organic and whole grain breakfast cereals that do NOT contain added sweeteners like shredded wheat, wheat chex, rice chex, or Cheerios. Then I add 1 cup of raw, unsalted and unroasted nuts. The last thing I add is 1 cup chopped and dried fruit. I mix these healthy ingredients together and give ¼ cup to each of my parrots. It's a delicious and nutritious snack packed with different colors, flavors, and textures, which is an effective way to add interest. also use for them. I save them to drizzle with morning cooked and fresh veggies for a nutritious topping that adds an unexpected crunchy texture to their soft food. that I'm hanging in the bars of her cage. So I don't experience waste like everyone else, my birds love Nutri-Berries whether they're served as whole nuggets or chunks and crumbs at the end of the bag. As for the condition of Nutri-Berries upon delivery, El Paso Nutri-Berries are fresh. There are only whole nuggets in the bag and there are no crumbled or broken pieces at the bottom of the bag. They are in better shape than when I buy them straight off the shelf at our local bird supply store.
