{"product_id":"lafeber-sunny-orchard-nutri-berries","title":"Lafeber Sunny Orchard Nutri-Berries Bird Food","description":"\u003cp\u003eSunny Orchard is the quieter of Lafeber's two fruit berries. Where Tropical Fruit is pineapple and mango — bright, sharp, tropical — this one is \u003cstrong\u003eapricot, date and cranberry\u003c\/strong\u003e: deeper, more jammy, less acidic. Birds usually have a firm opinion about which they prefer, and it is rarely the one you expect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnderneath 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich one for your bird\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCockatiel \u0026amp; Parakeet\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCockatiels, budgies and similar small birds.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eParrot\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmazons, African greys and similar. 30% pellets.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGuaranteed analysis\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdentical across both formulas:\u003c\/p\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\u003e0.39%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOmega-6 (min.)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.17%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCorn, 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.
