I've run out of Nutriberries! Lesson learned about underestimating how much of a supply I need to hold onto.
In the UK, I have looked at Northern Parrots and Parrot Essentials - they are both sold out with ever-retreating expected dates for more stock. Amazon looks very expensive and availability is unknown.
Anyone know of an alternative supplier with Cockatiel Nutriberries in stock?
Many thanks!

Thank you jellybean. They are out of stock too! Something has happened here, this is not good.

You might by able to buy some from a vets. Our vet sells them. I'm not sure which types they have.
I've had a few supply problems with products imported from the US, not just bird food.

I got a tub of cockatiel ones from our vet, criswell, because I can't rely on Haru eating just pellets yet. loz Everyone who sells them here gets their supply from a single shipping container that comes over. So once one place is out of stock they often all are. It also means we can't get the budgie ones rather than the cockatiel ones.

Another reason for me to wish there was an avian vet within 100 miles of me.

Last I checked, I think NP and SPE both told me about March 15th, so you may be able to get some in a few days.

Ah, that's a shame. :/ This is definitely the frustration of imported foods. It's so much easier to get hold of regular seed mix.

Yep, seed is much easier to get. Roudybush was out of stock for a month or so at one point, but I had enough to last.
Maybe our vets would post you a tub if you contacted them and said you can't get them anywhere.

That's a nice thought, criswell but I would feel awkward, not being a client of theirs. I certainly would have done this though if Nutriberries were my main feed rather than treats.

At the moment I'm just using them as treats too and with only 3 birds a packet lasts a long time. I'm still undediced about which seed alternative to feed my boys when my roudybush stocks run out in a few months time. It's tricky that they are all US imports. I doubt they would complain if they had to eat seeds if the pellets are out of stock!
