Lafeber Popcorn Nutri-Berrie Treats for Birds 4 oz

This one is a treat, and Lafeber say so plainly — unlike the rest of the Nutri-Berry range, it is not a complete diet. We are telling you that up front because a lot of shops do not.

Real popcorn and peanuts with a natural caramel flavour, pressed into the familiar round berry. It smells like a cinema foyer when you open the bag, which is exactly why it works.

What it is actually for

• Training. A reward only works if the bird wants it more than it wants to ignore you. This clears that bar.
• Nail trims, harness practice, stepping into a carrier. The jobs birds hate go better with something worth having at the end.
• Foraging toys. Break a berry up and hide the pieces.
• Shy or rehomed birds. A treat a bird will take from your hand buys trust faster than any amount of talking at it.

How much

Treats — all treats together, not just these — should stay a small fraction of the daily diet. Lafeber do not publish a per-day count for this product. In practice: one or two for a budgie or cockatiel, a few for a large parrot, and fewer on a day when the bird has had other treats.

Guaranteed analysis

Identical for both formulas:

Lafeber do not publish omega-3 or omega-6 figures for this line.

Questions we get asked

Is popcorn safe for birds?
Plain popped corn is. What makes cinema popcorn a bad idea is the salt and butter, not the corn — and there is none of that here.

Can I feed it as a meal?
No. Lafeber position this as a treat. Feed a complete diet as the base and use these for training and enrichment.

My bird only wants these now.
Then they have done their job too well. Put them away for a week and use them only as a reward, not as food in the bowl.

Which size for my bird?
Choose by species — the Cockatiel & Parakeet berry is smaller than the Parrot one. Both come in the 4 oz bag.
