Lafeber Sunny Orchard Nutri-Berries Bird Food

Sunny Orchard is the quieter of Lafeber's two fruit berries. Where Tropical Fruit is pineapple and mango — bright, sharp, tropical — this one is apricot, date and cranberry: deeper, more jammy, less acidic. Birds usually have a firm opinion about which they prefer, and it is rarely the one you expect.

Underneath the fruit it is the same idea as every Nutri-Berry. Seeds and grains are hulled first, then coated with stabilised vitamins, chelated minerals and amino acids, then bound into a round berry — so the nutrition ends up inside the bird rather than on the cage floor with the discarded hulls.

Which one for your bird

Guaranteed analysis

Identical across both formulas:

Ingredients

Corn, hulled white proso millet, dried fruit (cranberries, apricots, dates), soybean meal, red millet, maltodextrin, hulled oats, wheat flour, peanuts, safflower, dicalcium phosphate, corn syrup, glycerin, ground limestone, canola oil, rapeseed, ground rice, corn gluten meal, iodised salt, DL-methionine, citric acid, natural colour, choline chloride, and a full stabilised vitamin and chelated mineral pack. The Parrot version uses gelatin and dried whole egg where the Cockatiel version uses carrageenan and xanthan gum.

How much to feed

Lafeber's published guidance: small parrots 10 berries at a time, medium parrots 15, large parrots 20. Keep fresh food and water available at all times and adjust to the individual bird. Greens, vegetables and some fruit at around 20% of the daily diet.

Storage

Dried fruit carries moisture, so a half-open bag left on a warm shelf will not keep the way a bag of pellets does. Squeeze the air out, reseal, and store cool and dark.

Questions we get asked

Is it a complete diet or a treat?
A complete diet. Lafeber are clear that all their Nutri-Berry formulas are nutritionally balanced.

My bird eats the fruit and leaves the rest.
Feed less at a time, more often. When there is nothing left to sort through, most birds finish the berry.

Can I alternate it with the Classic or Tropical Fruit?
Yes. Rotating between them is a good, cheap form of enrichment — the bird gets a change without a diet change.

Is there a larger size?
Lafeber make Sunny Orchard for parrots in bigger bags, but we carry the 10 oz in both formulas because it is the size most households finish while it is still fresh.
