Product Description

Happy Birthday to the food that started it all! In the early 1970s, Dr. Lafeber began experimenting with a pelleted food for birds. Initially, he made the pellets on a small mill in the rear of his animal hospital. Fifty years later, we’re proud to say that we offer a full line of Premium Daily Pellets and so much more for our feathered friends. Learn more about how we got started 50 years ago and how you can take part in the celebration!

When you pour a parrot seed mix into your macaw or cockatoo’s bowl, you might notice that he picks out his favorites, often peanuts or sunflower seeds — not the healthiest choices. While seed is fine as a snack, your macaw or cockatoo’s main meal needs to pack more of a nutritional punch. We created Lafeber’s Premium Daily Pellets to ensure your parrot gets all the nutrients he needs for a full, energetic, and healthy life, with a taste he’ll find too good to pass up.

Our pellets are flavored with molasses, which enhances taste naturally and improves the acceptance of pellets when finicky “seed junkies” are converted to a healthy diet. They are perfectly sized for your large parrot to crumble up and can be offered as a full meal or as an important part of your bird’s diet. Many parrot owners have found that their birds love a combination of foods along with their pellets, such as Nutri-Berries, Avi-Cakes, and various fruits and vegetables.

Each pellet is a high-quality blend of natural ingredients like ground non-GMO corn and soybean meal. Our grains are literally grown outside Lafeber Company’s front door. We also include whole egg, one of the most digestible forms of protein, and essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids are added to the mixed grains. Lafeber’s Premium Daily Pellets are Omega 3 & 6 fatty acid balanced to give your bird a stronger immune system, stronger bones, and healthier feathers. We also naturally flavor and naturally preserve our foods, and each batch of pellets is scientifically tested for quality at an independent laboratory so you can feel good about feeding Lafeber foods to your feathered companion.

I’ve used Lafeber pellets for my birds for more than 30 years. I have had healthy birds for all of those years as a result. I first heard about Lafeber from avian vets at a veterinary conference.

THIS is the ONLY food that has stopped my parrot from EATING her POOP. She stopped the very day I started this food. BRAVO!!!!!!!! I have tried ALL the major brands pellets to no avail, even healthy human foods etc. NOTHING has worked except for THIS. SO HAPPY with these pellets. THANK YOU!

We have owned a Macaw 32 years and she has thrived on especially two Lafeber products every day of her life. She eats the Nutri-Berries and Pellets. Unless something changes, we will keep her on Lafeber for life!

We rescued our McCaw (Chicken’s her name) on 9/1/2001… and what a treat she is to have with us…! She’s been on a diet of your food exclusively since the day we took her in. Her health is terrific thanks to you.
