Your small bird is not getting any younger. Budgies (parakeets) that are 5 years old
and cockatiels that are 7 to 10 years old could be considered senior
birds. That’s because they have already reached about half their
expected life span. It’s great that your bird lived so long, but what
can you do to help him live his full life expectancy? Veterinary
checkups, exercise, and good husbandry are some important factors, but
good nutrition is vital.
Although parakeets and cockatiels don’t look much different when they
pass from adult to senior, the needs of their bodies change. Arthritis,
cataracts, cardiac disease, vitamin deficiency, and weight gain are
some of the age-related effects your senior bird might face. Senior Bird
Nutri-Berries Parakeet & Cockatiel Food is formulated to optimize
nutrition for your feathered friend.
We added herbs like milk thistle for its anti-inflammatory and
anti-arthritic effect, as well as dandelion to support bone health and
improve liver function. We included ginger — a powerful anti-
inflammatory herb — to help ease tendonitis, lower cholesterol and blood
pressure and to help prevent blood clots. We also combined the joint-
health supplements glucosamine to combat osteoarthritis and chondroitin
to ease joint pain and swelling.
Senior Bird Nutri-Berries are also packed with real pieces of
age-defying fruits: plums, which provide dietary fiber and are high in
Vitamins A, C, K, potassium, fluoride and beta-carotene; cranberries,
which are full of antioxidants that strengthen the immune system by
flushing out harmful toxins; and dates, which are iron-rich fruits that
contain flavonoid polyphenolic antioxidants known as tannins that
possess anti-infective, anti-inflammatory and anti-hemorrhagic
properties.
Senior Bird Nutri-Berries offer the same balanced nutrition as our
Classic and Gourmet Nutri-Berries, plus they are formulated to meet the
special needs of mature birds. They contain 61% pellets, 26% wholesome
