I Tri Hard Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 What do you guys think of nutri-berries as a staple food source?.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave007 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Nutriberies are used as a treat item. There's a bit of sugar and molasses in there which isn't good for a bird if it's given in large quantities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT_Jacket Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Look into Harrison's High Potency Coarse and TOPS Organic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawL Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Agreed...Nutri-Berries are great treats, but only treats. I personally use RoudyBush organic Pellets. My vet recommends RoudyBush to parronts as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray P Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I use Nutri- Berries as a treat and RoudyBush pellets along with fresh vegs and a variety of other foods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdhouse Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 My fids love them. They would live on them if I'd let them. But they get as much fresh food as I can stuff them with, TOP pellets & Nutri-Berries are just for treats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I have tried nutri-berries, the ones with veggies in them with my little flock. My guys do not like them at all. What a waste of money for me!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenabrd Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 i break them up with a mortar and pestle for athena, there's less waste that way. kallie's i cut in half for the same reason!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianlinkles Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 My amazon LOVES them my cag not so much. I use them as a treat only, with Dorothy (cag) I crush them and sprinkle on her veggies, it kind of gets her started eating them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingy Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 When I had fids they weren't fans of Nutriberries. I didn't feed them seeds so I used it as a treat. I would take a small piece of banana, peach or a slice of peeled grape and roll it in the seed. They really enjoyed that treat and it was much less expensive.

I Tri Hard Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 Sounds great, thank you. I have a big bucket of them. I give her a limited supply of them per day (probably 4-6 total) and I break them up before feeding them.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I give them as a t rear as well. I don't break them up tho, my birds love holding them and chewing on them bit by bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovethatgrey Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Personally I do not feed Nutriberries. I used to but not anymore even though they are Vet approved. Do look at the ingredient list and you may understand why I've chosen not too. As mentioned, they also aren't meant to be used as a staple. Merely an *occasional* treat.

tesla Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 so glad i came across this thread.. i just recently added these into his daily regiment (his diet is very varied, there is no 'staple'), but now it's still not too late to phase this out quickly to a 'treat status' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
