Versele-Laga NutriBird T16 Original Pellets is a scientifically formulated complete maintenance feed designed for large frugivorous and insectivorous birds such as mynahs, toucans, turacos, and fruit doves. This premium extruded pellet diet ensures balanced daily nutrition while preventing selective eating behaviour.
Formulated with real fruits like apple, cranberry, and elderberry, this diet closely mimics natural feeding habits while enhancing palatability. With a moderate protein level (16%), it is ideal for maintaining optimal body condition in adult birds outside the breeding phase.
A key highlight of NutriBird T16 is its very low iron content (max 85 ppm), making it suitable for species prone to Iron Storage Disease (ISD), a common concern in exotic birds. The formula also includes natural clay minerals and prebiotics (MOS) under the OPTI DIGEST system to promote healthy gut flora and efficient digestion.
OPTI FEATHER supports vibrant plumage, while OPTI CALCIUM ensures strong bones through a balanced calcium-phosphorus ratio. Recommended by veterinarians and widely used by zoological parks and professional breeders worldwide, NutriBird T16 is a trusted solution for maintaining exotic bird health.
