You chop the carrot, you steam the broccoli, you arrange it nicely, and the parrot throws all of it on the floor and looks at you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGarden Veggie Nutri-Berries are the workaround. Real pieces of \u003cstrong\u003ecarrot, green pea, broccoli and corn\u003c\/strong\u003e are worked into Lafeber's hulled-seed berry, so the vegetables arrive attached to something the bird already wants to eat. It is not a replacement for fresh produce — Lafeber still want greens and vegetables at around 20% of the daily diet — but it gets vegetables into a bird that has decided against them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParrots: Amazons, African greys, eclectus, pionus and similar. 20% pellets, the rest whole hulled seed and grain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGuaranteed analysis\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCrude protein (min.)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10.0%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCrude fat (min.)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.0%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCrude fibre (max.)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.0%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMoisture (max.)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14.0%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOmega-3 (min.)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.31%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOmega-6 (min.)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.91%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGround corn, hulled white proso millet, hulled oats, red millet, safflower, soybean meal, peanuts, maltodextrin, dried veggies (broccoli, green peas, carrots), wheat flour, canola oil, corn syrup, dicalcium phosphate, ground limestone, glycerin, gelatin, ground rice, corn gluten meal, dried whole egg, iodised salt, DL-methionine, citric acid, and a full stabilised vitamin and chelated mineral pack (A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, B12, C, D3, E, K, beta-carotene).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much to feed\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLafeber's published guidance: \u003cstrong\u003esmall parrots 10 berries at a time, medium parrots 15, large parrots 20.\u003c\/strong\u003e Fresh food and water always available.

Some birds that will not touch a plate of veg will pick through it for the berry crumbs and eat the vegetables almost by accident. It does not always work.
