I got Maxx a bag of Tropical Nutri-berries today, and needless to say, he LOVED them. I will be using them as treats inside his foraging toys. I LOVE how they use a foot to hold food while they are eating.

Oooh! I heard about them nutri-berries, saw them at the store, wondered about them and now I'm going to have to go get Franklin some, he may really enjoy them too.

I bought a small sample bag of the Zupreem Pellets, Franklin dove right in them but they seemed to hard for him to crunch so I soaked a 1/2 teaspoon of them in a small amount of water and stuck them in his cage, to see what he'd do and he seemed to like them. I did find some on the bottom of his cage, but I think he may have ate more then he dropped.

I too, love how they hold their food it's soo cute!

Looks like Maxx is settling in very well with you. He looks happy, healthy and content. And such a handsome fella!

See ya,

Toni

My parrots LOVE Nutri-berries. They get them every other day, and you can tell when I open that container that they know what I am getting them... lol

My vet recomended them if I couldn't get Bob eating pellets rather than seeds. Given that I have been having trouble finding treats that Bob likes I will try nutri-berries.

I had a lovebird many years ago that wouldn't eat pellets, so I just took parakeet nutriberries, crushed them, just enought the crumble the ball, using my fingers, and put them in her dish. Worked great.

My vet recommended that, but he also asked how I was offering Bob his pellets; I was feeding him pellets mixed with a few seeds, and that was all that I was giving Bob. This feeding method required frequent refillings as Bob seemed to think that the pellets were evil an would pick out the seeds and toss the pellets. My vet told me to offer a bowl of pure pellets and a bowl of seeds with just a few pellets mixed in. This advice seemed retarded to me, but I felt the vet knew more than I did and followed it. His advice worked, and while Bob may not be eating as many pellets as he should he is eating a good number of them.
