Nutri-Berries: Veterinarian recommended Nutri-Berries are the most fun-to-eat, easy to accept food ever made. These nutritious nuggets have the shape birds naturally enjoy and a balanced, superior source of nutrition with an irresistible taste and aroma. Proper nutrition is critical to the good health and long life of your parakeet, cockatiel, lovebird, or conure. Nutri-Berries were designed to change your bird's bad eating habits, like picking out some seed and ignoring the others. Nutri-Berries are actually 96% eaten, meaning more nutrition for your bird and less waste on the floor for you. Combine Nutri-Berries with your bird's current diet. Once your bird begins eating them, discontinue the previous diet. Note: Most birds accept Nutri-Berries right away. However, if your bird does not initially, flatten them and mix with current diet until accepted. Once your bird is eating Nutri-Berries, feed your bird as much as will be eaten in a 12-hour period (about ten to 12). |
