Lafeber Premium Pet Bird Food
Classic Nutri-Berries™
= All the Nutrition of Pellets + All the Benefits and Fun of Foraging
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 into a powder 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.
The secret is hulling
By hulling the seeds and grains and then coating them with stabilized vitamins, chelated minerals, and amino acids, your bird receives the balanced nutrition essential to good health, just like with pelleted diets. Plus, unground seeds and grains provide the benefit of whole foods, just like birds enjoy in the wild.
Fun Foraging with whole seeds and grains
Because of the whole seeds and grains, Classic Nutri-Berries offer multiple tastes and multiple textures essential for optimal foraging. Pellets alone only offer a single taste and a single texture. This is because in a pellet, everything is finely ground and blended together. Every ingredient becomes the same, same taste, same texture, which as a full diet, is boring for most birds and people.

This combination is an important part of healthy foraging.
Avi-Cakes™
“Work ‘n Chew™’ Food
Birds need nutritional variety and foraging excitement.
Birds have incredible beak abilities; they can take chunks out of your finest furniture and a moment later, they can take the hull off of a millet seed. Bird’s tongues are incredibly sensitive to touch and texture with more tactile nerve sensors than other parts of their body.
Great Foraging Food
Avi-cakes were designed to provide your bird with a variety of beak and tongue sensations. Your feathered friend will love holding, pulling and tearing at each square. We believe your bird’s food can be both exciting and nutritious.
Nutritionally Balanced Just for Your Bird
Top avian nutritionists, veterinarians and behavioral consultants worked together creating Avi-Cakes. Avi-Cakes were specifically designed for the nutritional demands of birds: for iridescent feathers; for a strong beak and bones; and for bright eyes. Avi-Cakes are a blend of premium seeds mixed 50-50 with nutritionally balanced pellets all held together with a great tasting molasses binder.
Avi-cakes are perfect as a complete meal or as a special treat. They are omega 3&6 balanced, naturally flavored and naturally preserved.
A Gradual Way to Introduce Pellets
Because Avi-Cakes are 50% pellets, many birds will eat pellets after eating Avi-Cakes. Avi-Cakes are a great complement to a pelleted diet, since Avi-Cake nutrition matches most pelleted diets.

Lafeber’s Premium Daily Diet
Dr. Lafeber Sr. created the very first Pet Bird Pellet
As a practicing veterinarian in the 1960’s, Dr. Ted Lafeber Sr. was treating pet birds and soon realized that these pet birds were suffering from malnutrition. Birds cannot survive on millet, canary seed and sunflower seeds alone. In 1975, he created the very first pet bird pellet recipe. Initially, many people thought he was crazy, birds eat seeds, not pellets, but then they saw the results… the birds eating pellets were healthier, happier and living longer.
Nutritionally Balanced
Good health and a long life begin with proper nutrition and Lafeber’s Premium Daily Diet is formulated to provide exactly that. Lafeber’s Premium Daily Diet is a high quality blend of natural ingredients like corn and soybean meal. Both grains are literally grown outside Lafeber Company’s front door. We also add whole egg, the world’s most digestive form of protein.
The different grains are mixed and essential vitamins, minerals and amino acids are added.
These ingredients are necessary for strong bones and brilliant feathers. Lafeber’s Premium Daily Diet is omega 3&6 fatty acid balanced, naturally flavored and naturally preserved. Watch your feathered friend shine with the excellent nutrition found in Lafeber’s pelleted bird food.
Convenient Nutrition
Since our pellets offer nutrition in every bite, pellets can be a full diet or an important part of your bird’s diet. Many owners have found that their birds love a combination of foods with their pellets such as Nutri-Berries, Avi-Cakes and various fruits and vegetables. Switching to a full pelleted diet can take time. Please be sure to read the feeding instructions.
