The bag weighs 1.81 kg (4 lb) and the pellets are made with real pieces of mango, pineapple and papaya, with no added sugar or fructose. The brand names it as the primary food source for conures, quakers, caiques, senegals and similarly sized parrots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat goes into the tropical fruit pellets\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fruit in these conure pellets is real mango, pineapple and papaya, included as pieces rather than flavourings. Lafeber's states that the sweetness in the pellet comes only from fruit and that no sugar or fructose is added. There are no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives, and the recipe is listed as over 99% non-GMO. Ground corn appears as a listed ingredient.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow the pellets are made and what they provide\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe recipe was formulated for conures by avian veterinarians and avian nutritionists, according to Lafeber's.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMixing, forming and packaging all take place in small batches at a single site: the Lafeber family farm in Cornell, Illinois.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe pellets are made in the USA.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe manufacturer describes the formula as rich in antioxidants and lists omega 3 and 6 as balanced.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhich birds these pellets suit\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe package names conures, quakers, caiques and senegals, plus parrots of a similar size, as the birds these pellets are intended for. A buyer keeping a smaller species such as a budgie or canary is outside that list. Because the pellets are sold as a primary food source, the bag suits a household feeding a conure-sized bird as the base of its diet rather than as an occasional treat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about the 4 lb bag\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow much food is in one bag?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bag holds 4 lb, which is 64 oz or 1.81 kg, and it is sold as a single pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat form does the food take?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe food is a pellet in the classic style, and the ingredient list begins with ground corn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the pellet contain added sugar?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo sugar or fructose is added; Lafeber's says the sweetness comes from the fruit alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich fruit is in the pellets?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMango, pineapple and papaya are the fruits named, and they are listed as special ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich birds is the bag intended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe brand lists conures, quakers, caiques, senegals and similarly sized parrots as the birds it is a primary food source for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the recipe non-GMO?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLafeber's lists the formula as over 99% non-GMO.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 Pound (Pack of 1)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStyle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClassic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eItem form\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePellet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUnit count\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e64 ounce\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eIngredients\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGround Corn\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eItem weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.81 kg (4 lb)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTarget audience\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ebirds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRecommended uses\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrimary food source for conures, quakers, caiques, senegals, and similarly sized parrots\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecial features\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExclusively made with natural sweetness from fruit; no added sugar or fructose\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecial ingredients\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePapaya, mango, and pineapple\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eItem dimensions (L x W x H)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25.4 x 22.9 x 10.2 cm (10 x 9 x 4 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"LAFEBER'S","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44481217331263,"sku":null,"price":60.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/2409\/1199\/files\/lafeber-s-bird-food-4lb.jpg?v=1794784360","url":"https:\/\/dogjointly.com\/products\/lafeber-tropical-fruit-conure-pellets","provider":"DogJointly","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
